8. Experiencing our Children as Souls

Know Your Children with Rav Shlomo Katz ·

2025/11/30

In this week’s Know Your Children, we take a courageous, very triggering step inward: Can I look at my child not only as “my kid,” but as a neshamah —a soul that may even be higher than mine?Building on our work about friendship and authority, Rav Shlomo Katz opens the inner story: our children are not our property, not our projects, and not our therapy. On the level of guf (body), we are the parents, we pay the bills, we set the rules. But on the level of neshamah, we are standing in front

7. Harmonious Authority

Know Your Children with Rav Shlomo Katz ·

2025/11/16

This week we face the question every home is asking: how do we hold yedidut (friendship) and mashma’ut (discipline) together—without losing either? Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David learn that Chazal’s path isn’t “buddy” parenting, and it isn’t cold control. It’s a 50/50 coin: authority on one side, friendship on the other—flipped together by love. The Chafetz Chaim’s home modeled chaverut with clear chinuch; the Rambam’s Ve’ahavta l’rei’acha kamocha applies inside our doorway,

6. My Child, My Friend, My Child

Know Your Children with Rav Shlomo Katz ·

2025/11/02

In this week’s shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz invites us to re-examine the core of chinuch: can a parent be both moreh (teacher) and chaver (friend) without blurring roles? We return to last week’s kesher nafshi (soul-bond) and learn why natural love alone isn’t the funnel—mutuality is. Around ages 12–13, many children feel, “You love me, but you don’t understand me.” The work now is to move from “I care about you” (אכפת לי) to “I’m genuinely interested in you” (מעניין אותי)—from giving gifts we

5. Do I Want to Know My Child’s World?

Know Your Children with Rav Shlomo Katz ·

2025/10/26

In this week’s shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz asks the heart-level question: Do I Want to Know My Child’s World? We deepen last week’s kesher nafshi—a two-way soul-bond—by facing a common gap: many parents are pouring from their world into children living in a different one. Without curiosity and reciprocity, the funnel leaks; with it, chinuch can finally land.Together we learn:- Why a mutual bond (ke-mayim ha-panim) is the only stable “funnel” for real chinuch. - How to enter a child’s dor

4. Aiming Towards a Kesher Nafshi

Know Your Children with Rav Shlomo Katz ·

2025/10/19

In this week’s shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz continues our journey in Know Your Children toward a deeper parent–child bond—נפשו קשורה בנפשו / kesher nafshi—a two-way soul connection modeled by Yaakov and Binyamin. We review the “personalized funnel” of chinuch for each child and revisit the two loves that start every home—ahavah tiv’it (rooted in existence) and ahavah mutenet (shaped by traits)—then ask: how do we grow beyond one-way love into a shared inner bond without slipping into favoritism,

3. Natural vs. Conditional Loving

Know Your Children with Rav Shlomo Katz ·

2025/09/21

In this week’s shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz explores the foundation of Natural vs. Conditional Loving. Every parent begins with an unconditional, unexplainable love—ahavah tiv’it—simply because our child exists. As children grow and reveal talents, quirks, and challenges, a second layer—ahavah mutenet—forms, often shaping how we respond and how they feel loved. The work is to bridge these two, so the deepest, unconditional love never gets buried.Together we learn:The long–short path of chinuch:

2. Can’t Have Holes in the Pipeline

Know Your Children with Rav Shlomo Katz ·

2025/09/14

In this week’s shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz takes last week’s funnel and makes it practical. It’s not enough to have powerful Torah and holy intentions—if the צינור, the pipeline between parent and child, has leaks, what we’re trying to pour in never really arrives.Together we learn:The bridge before the message: why “content of chinuch” is stage two, and stage one is building a genuine bridge of trust and safety.Two channels that actually land: ma’aseh (personal example lived with simchah) and

1. Creating a Funnel

Know Your Children with Rav Shlomo Katz ·

2025/09/07

In this opening shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz begins our journey through Da Et Yeladecha with the image of a funnel. Parents often try to “pour” everything they know and feel straight into their children. But without the right structure, much of it spills out.Together we explore:Why chinuch begins with building an infrastructure—a bridge of emet (truth)—between parent and child.How age gaps create differences not just in understanding but in emotional perception, and how to meet children where
