Frederick Douglass famously said, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." Can we even begin to estimate the staggering cost—financial, emotional, and societal—of fixing broken adults? Therapy, medication, addictions, ailments—endless attempts to numb the pain of fear, insecurity, dysfunction, trauma.
Imagine how much could be saved—how much suffering could be avoided—if we focused on building strong children rather than repairing broken adults. But this isn't just about money. It's about human well-being. How much time, energy, and potential are wasted battling demons when we could be nurturing angels?
But the real question is how. How do we raise resilient, whole, and empowered children so they blossom into healthy adults.
Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson in this vital discussion as we explore the path to building strong children—so we no longer have to fix broken adults. As well as methods to mend and rebuild things that may have broken us.
