Perfect Jewish Parents

By: Shalom Hartman Institute
  • Summary

  • Perfect Jewish Parents is a show from the Shalom Hartman Institute about the joys and "oys" of raising children Jewishly. Each week our hosts, Masua Sagiv and Joshua Ladon, speak with a different guest to explore questions like: How do you integrate Judaism into a modern life with all its competing demands and seemingly endless choices? How do you talk about God when you’re not sure about your own beliefs? How do you discuss the Holocaust, or Israel with your kids? Join us for conversations that are honest, irreverent, and heartfelt. JOIN OUR EMAIL LIST FOR MORE HARTMAN IDEAS

  • Navigating the Rhetoric
    Nov 29 2023
    Public discourse about Israel and Gaza is peppered with ideological language. Young people are engaging with a world where complex, academic, and historically significant terms such as Zionism, colonialization, and apartheid have been overly simplified and reduced to polarizing social media memes. Tomer Persico, research fellow at the Hartman Institute in Jerusalem and Rubenstein fellow at Reichman University, joins hosts Joshua Ladon and Masua Sagiv to help parents, educators, and caregivers better understand the context and rhetoric that young people are navigating so that we can engage in sophisticated, rich conversations with our children and students.    JOIN OUR EMAIL LIST FOR MORE HARTMAN IDEAS    Tomer's Viral Videos:  The denial of Jewish humanity is antisemitism  What's the deal with the anit-Israel left?

  • Is Anyone Prepared for These Questions?
    Nov 5 2023
    As the Israel-Hamas war continues and we grapple with the implications and trauma of October 7, parents, caregivers, and educators are fielding increasingly complex questions from children and students. Hosts Joshua Ladon and Masua Sagiv are joined by Elana Stein Hain, Rosh Beit Midrash and Senior Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute, and co-host of the award-winning podcast For Heaven's Sake. Together they offer a glimpse into how parents and educators may be thinking through these ethical questions and share some of the Jewish resources and rituals that they turn to for wisdom, comfort, and inspiration.
