Rabbi Reveals Key to Restoring a Child’s Unique Self-Belief Through Talmudic Story

Rabbi Yoav Akrish explores a profound question faced by parents and educators: why do children who receive abundant love and support still feel inadequate? Drawing on a moving story from the Talmud, a deeply personal experience, and teachings from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Akrish reveals the crucial element that restores a child’s faith in their own uniqueness. He reflects on Moses’ final request before his death, illustrating the difference between those who merely manage us and those who truly see us. This insight offers a powerful perspective on nurturing children’s inner confidence and identity, addressing a universal challenge for caregivers and teachers alike.
