21. Parenting Based on the First Word of the Ten Commandments

Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David explore the Gemara’s teaching that “Anochi” means: “Ana Nafshi Kesavis Yehavis” — “I gave over My soul.” From there, he opens a deeply practical conversation about what our children are actually receiving from us every day.

Are we only giving them food, clothing, routines, and structure… or are we giving them our hearts within those things too?

Through stories, Torah, and honest reflection, this episode reframes the entire relationship between physical caregiving and emotional connection, and asks what it means to build a home where love is truly felt — not just assumed.
