Jewish Family Service

The Balancing Act of Raising Jewish Children

Join Internationally syndicated
Parenting Columnist and Author

Sharon Duke Estroff

as she uses humor to discuss
practical ways for parents
to blend Jewish values with
the realities of modern society

How do you help your child choose between mandatory baseball practice and Hebrew school? How can you plan a birthday party (not to mention a Bar Mat Mitzvah celebration!) without sacrificing your values, sanity and pocketbook? How do you know if your child is ready for kindergarten or you should wait one more year...and will you question your final verdict at every social or academic glitch the next 12 years?

As any modern Jewish parent knows, balancing family traditions and contemporary culture can be incredibly challenging. Estroff answers questions both old and new, Jewish and secular, while illuminating the ways that Jewish tradition can be used to form a lasting emotional safety net for modern families.
