Guiding Generations

Raising to Potential: The Father’s Role in Aspiration


Listen Later

In this week’s Guiding Generations, Rabbi Shifman explores Parshas Naso through the lens of parenting—unpacking the mysterious laws of the Nazir and their surprising relevance to raising children. Why is it the father, not the mother, who makes a child a Nazir? What does this teach us about setting aspirations versus affirming self-worth? Rabbi Shifman draws a powerful distinction between the nurturing role of a mother—making a child feel good about who they are—and the father’s mission: showing the child what they could be. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how to raise children not just to be “good,” but to pursue greatness—by helping them taste their true potential.
