With authority, warmth, and humor, clinical psychologist and educator Wendy Mogel distills ancient Jewish teachings and contemporary psychological insights into a new road map for effective, enlightened parenting in an increasingly speedy, materialistic, and competitive age.
The discussion is led by Rabbi Asher Lopatin, rabbi of Anshe Sholom B’nai Israel, the modern Orthodox synagogue in Lakeview. A former Rhodes Scholar and Wexner Graduate Fellow, Rabbi Lopatin writes for a wide-range of publications on Jewish tradition and modern life.
