About the Speaker

Yaakov Lieder
Israeli born Rabbi Yaakov Lieder has been involved in education for the past 28 years in a variety of positions in Israel, the US, and Sydney, Australia.
"Before I got married," says Rabbi Lieder, "I had fourteen theories on bringing up children. Now I have fourteen children and no theories." This, however, has not prevented him from establishing, in 1995, the Support Centre to aid families struggling with relationship and child-rearing issues.
