In this week’s episode of Guiding Generations, Rabbi Shifman explores the Torah’s timeless wisdom on family dynamics, gender roles, and the power of identity within the home. Drawing from Parshas Vayakhel, he examines the deeper meaning behind the copper mirrors donated by the Jewish women for the Mishkan and how they played a crucial role in preserving Jewish continuity in Mitzrayim.


What can these mirrors teach us about modern parenting and marriage? How do we navigate evolving societal roles while maintaining harmony in our relationships? With a blend of Torah insight, history, and practical wisdom, Rabbi Shifman delves into the delicate balance of respect, affirmation, and the strength of building up one another in marriage and family life.


Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on how understanding our roles—both in Torah and in today’s world—can create stronger homes and raise confident, connected children.
