The organization Tzehar is hosting a special seminar for parents of teenagers facing challenges, to be held from Thursday, November 12 to Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the "Tzipori on the Kinneret" hotel in Tiberias. Previous participants described the seminar as a turning point that strengthened their relationships with their children, providing them with understanding, tools, and empowerment. Many expressed regret that they had not attended sooner, believing it could have significantly altered their family's experience.
The "Tzehar for the Teen's Soul" seminar aims to equip parents with practical tools and professional guidance to navigate the complexities of raising teenagers. The three-day event will focus on understanding the adolescent world and building bridges of closeness through direct interaction with experienced professionals and a supportive community of parents facing similar issues.
This initiative has received blessings from prominent rabbis. Rabbi Dov Landau emphasized the importance of community support, stating, "This is a shared trouble, not an individual one," and wished success. Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch called participation "a duty of education," not just good advice. The Rebbe of Belz compared attending the seminar to consulting a specialist doctor.
The upcoming seminar will feature numerous rabbis and educators, including Rabbi Yehoshua Pink, Rabbi Yechiel Fiskin, Rabbi Pinchas Brier, Rabbi Nathan Rosen, Rabbi Israel Mordechai Vidislavsky, Rabbi Ze'ev Katzenelbogen, Rabbi Avichai Cohen, Rabbi Shmuel Rotner, Rabbi Shimshon Farber, and Rabbi Avraham Weinberg. In addition to lectures and discussions, parents will have the opportunity for personal counseling. A special lecture for women will be delivered by Mrs. Pari Cohen.
A significant part of the program will be a panel where individuals who have experienced these challenges will share their personal journeys. This offers parents a rare chance to gain insight from those who have been through it, fostering new understanding and healing family connections. The organizers urge parents not to delay in seeking the right support for themselves and their children, highlighting that stepping away from daily routine for learning and empowerment can be a crucial step for their families.
The cost for the seminar is three installments of 990 NIS per couple, totaling 2,970 NIS per couple.
