I have a question about family.

I guess that Jews also have challenges in relationships.

Perhaps the Jewish view, that every Jew is precious, makes it easier to get along with each other.

I like this seder reading from RabbiO, how children are addressed.

I like that a lot - it's a very generous way of looking at people. One thing I have learned about my friend's parents is that they were a careful mix of very hands-on, and very hands-off. And unfailingly supportive - and I think that's what has given risen to very well established self-efficacy and self-esteem. It really is a very different approach to where I came from - where my parents STILL compete with their children. It's intensely childish. Another person posted in the channel last-night, a link to Woody Allen's Annie Hall - a great scene between the two families. 

And how about yourself - where are you in this strange, modern world of ours?

Cheers
