Join Rabbi Jeff and his son Ahron Wohlgelernter in a thoughtful and timely conversation every week. This week we discuss Chanukah and Miracles, the love of wisdom, Rabbi Jeff's library, and a novel approach to bringing others into our Mitzvah observance and how Jewish outreach should be done! - We hope with this series to bring you a little taste of those shabbos conversations in order that you can either bring up these topics at your table or be empowered to make your own engaging conversations. So break out a L'Chaim, reheat some Chulent, and Enjoy! -- We need a new approach to how shabbos meals are run. Many people look forward to Shabbos as a time of rest and family bonding but they are only disappointed week after week after very frustrating meal times. Kids don't want to be there, Parsha sheets just don't make the cut, and the conversation just usually ends up being about work. We found that the most inspiring, fun, engaging, and informative meals at our home were those that the conversation was flowing. Conversations were always oriented around the Torah perspective on things happening in the world. The children were always engaged and the guests were comfortable sharing their perspectives. The one thing that didn't happen is a formal Dvar Torah or Parsha class. At our Shabbos meals, no one looked at their watch! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EITAN KATZ MUSIC USB: http://www.eitankatz.com/usb -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have a bone to pick? email - info@intentionaljew.com https://www.intentionaljew.com/shows/think-torah/ Subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.intentionaljew.com/contact-us-advertise-with-us/…
