If we want our children to live according to godly—not worldly—values, then courage is one of the most important values that we can pass down to them.

Courage is celebrated each year during the biblical observance of Purim, which commemorates the story of Queen Esther, whose courageous actions saved the Jewish people from certain annihilation. As Yael shares, it is faith that gave Esther her courage, and courage that gave her the confidence to take a stand for her people. Together, faith and courage have always advanced God’s work on earth.

Listen to Yael’s inspiring call to raise the next generation to be “strong and courageous.”

And listen to more of Yael’s Bible teachings on her new podcast, The Chosen People.
