How can I inspire my child to be more responsible?  How can I learn to be more complimentary and consistent?  This insightful parenting book provides effective techniques to address all of these challenges while using Jewish wisdom as a guide.  You will learn how to set clear goals and effectively motivate your child or student; as well as how to be more patient, retain control and enhance your child’s performance of life’s day-to-day tasks.  This book is full of real-life situations that we encounter everyday — both at home and in the classroom.

“Letters to a Buddhist Jew”

by Akiva Tatz and David Gottlieb

Copyright: 2005; Pages:  302

Is Judaism relevant today or is just a bunch of silly laws, restrictions and meaningless rituals?  Do we feel left out of the synagogue service?  If we can’t answer these questions for ourselves how do we expect to pass the meaning, depth and relevance of Judaism down to our kids?  Do Jews leave Judaism because of what they know or because of what they don’t know?  “Letters to a Buddhist Jew” provides a glimpse into deep Jewish thought and existence. The questions asked are the same questions we’ve had yet the answers provided will open up a whole new area of Jewish understanding.
