From her chill "California Modern" Jewish observance to her 5 am "me time" to her mantra of God, Family & Skiing, Jessica Minkoff knows her priorities and finds creative ways to keep her cool, let her SIX kids grow into their best selves, and cultivate a close clan that relishes time with one another. Plus, schlepping your crew to Israel and the AIPAC conference, finding your confidence, throwing a quesadilla at your mother-in-law (we've all been there, right?), taming your devil child, balancing individual and whole family needs, Coachella themed bar mitzvahs (not those gummies!), office hours in your bedroom, using the "who cares more" rule, meeting in grad school at Harvard, and why her 8-year old son wants to live in Israel for the candy, and the freedom.
