22. The Significance of Jewish Parenting

What changes when we stop seeing parenting as behavior management… and start seeing it as caring for a נשמה?

In this deeply moving episode of Know Your Children, Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David explore the uniquely Jewish foundation of parenting — not merely raising functional children, but honoring the divine soul hidden within them. Through stories from Reb Shlomo Carlebach, reflections on “בצלם אלוקים,” and practical shifts in consciousness, this conversation reframes what kavod for children באמת means.

Why do Jewish parents give honor to children? Is it psychological? Emotional? Or something much deeper?
