The Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) will present The Art of Parenting, the institute’s new six-session spring 2015 course. Rabbi Shmuly Altein of Chabad-Lubavitch will conduct the six course sessions on Sundays starting January 18th, at the Jewish Learning Centre.
“As parents we are constantly being bombarded with various educational approaches and methods,” explains Rabbi Zalman Abraham of JLI’s New York headquarters. “How do you strike the correct balance between discipline and freedom? This course answers these great questions by looking to timeless Jewish wisdom.”
The course was designed by JLI in order to help parents navigate the stormy waters of child-rearing. From questions of how children and parents should relate to each other, to how to help a child cultivate a healthy self-esteem, The Art of Parenting provides a solid foundation anchored in the eternal wisdom of Jewish thought and practice for parents to explore and develop their own parenting philosophies and techniques.
“Empires and civilizations have come and gone, but the Jewish people have survived,” says Rabbi Shmuly Altein, the local JLI instructor in Winnipeg. “This course taps into the great Jewish parenting success story that is our people’s survival, against all odds, over the course of thousands of years.”
