Cuddled in her father’s arms, she is snug and secure, because there is a father.
Looking into the small eyes gazing up from within his arms, feeling the tight grasp of a tiny hand on his finger, the father awakens to something he may never have known before: He is a father.
As a child’s trust creates a bond and transforms a man, rendering him a father, so our trust in the One Above elicits His embrace. And there, we are snug and secure.

Be a doctor ? We need a license, similarly to be a lawyer. The question arises why not a license to prepare a parent? In schools ,we can guess, superficially ,how a child is being guided, and try to help in that very difficult job - exactly because there is no prior training. One parent asked what are the best books to be the best parent possible? There is no such thing, but there are basics- as pointed in the fragment: helping the child feel that he/she is protected, and follow our instincts guided by the child's personality. Basic training: do not lie to our child ,give answers according to age: be honest and real. That is the model. and the rest in Jewish life is Jewish education, and the constant reminder that H' is with the child too. In this case we have to be concrete because it is not easy to explain something so simple but so complex. Yet. by kissing the Mezuzah, the child has a visible reminder that H" is with us: parent and child both secure with H'. Reply
Good 🌻 Morning,
This morning's daily dose brings warm memories of my father who died quite young. I thank GD for the time we shared, and I am encouraged that one day in eternity, "I will joyfully dance with my father again."
Baruch HaShem,
🕊💜
Have a wonderful day!

When I became a father to a daughter, I felt it profoundly. It changed my outlook and enhanced my connection to Hashem, which has never faltered. Reply

Our / My G*d
Wow, Rabbi Freeman, this is powerful.
I do recall the first time I ever said, "I love you G*d."
And since then, I have been able to also accept and deeply appreciate (especially in time of need) that "G*d loves me."
BlesSings and gratitude,
Joy

BIRTH OF A PAREMT This was a very touching article, it is so true, G-d is there to guide us in life, but your Father or Mother, are there after you are born. I was blessed with wonderful Parents, I know how it feels to be real close and love your Parents, we were always there for each other, you can never replace a Parent, the love in your heart is there forever. As a child the bond with my parents was strong. Now they are both in Heaven watching me and will always be in my heart forever. G-d is there to comfort me and love and guide me. I became so much more involved in Judisum and am alot more religious, since they paseed away. Through G-d I feel them and I know they are with me always. G-d is my true connection with both my Father and Mother . I believe that it has been a real comfort with G-d,showing me the path in life. As a Child, I bonded with my Parents, it will always be there. So being helld by your Parents, you can feel a real connection, You will realize that it was through G-d later. Reply
My precious father was a father from Heaven; when he was near I always felt safe. There are
so many great words to describe my father, I couldn't find a page long enough. My father,
my love, my strength and zest for love from the first man in my life, who taught me to love G D,
and all his creations in this Universe. May you rest in peace my dearest father; while my mind has never forgot one moment of our times to-
gether.
