It’s been a little while… and Morah Tziri is back with big news and a powerful Chanukah conversation. ✨

Together let's dive into a heart-opening Chanukah episode with the one and only Mrs. Slovie Jungreis Wolff – daughter of Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis and a beloved teacher, author, and speaker.

This episode is not just for kids and not just for parents. It’s meant to be listened to together. Around the table, in the car, in the kitchen – wherever your family listens best.

Morah Tziri and Mrs. Wolff talk honestly about:

• What real confidence looks like (hint: it’s not your sneakers or your swag)
• How to handle jealousy, comparison, and “stuff” in a world that always has more
• Why every child has their own “spiritual fingerprints” that no one else in the world has
• How even “ordinary” kids can be heroes in tiny, quiet ways
• Turning Chanukah from “What did you GET?” into “What did we GIVE?”
• Anxiety, worry, and how to stop writing scary stories in your head
• The power of kids’ tefillos and why adults are literally counting on them

Along the way you’ll hear:

• A bar mitzvah sweatshirt story that flips “popularity” on its head
• How a 10-year-old slime maker turned her hobby into a $1,000 mitzvah project
• A mashal about a bird and a lion that will change the way your kids think about jealousy
• A beautiful idea to see your children as holy lights when you look at them by the menorah

This is an episode you can come back to again and again – for Chanukah, for tough days, and for those quiet moments when your child asks, “Am I really special?”

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• 🕯️ How Chanukah gives us eight nights of real family connection, not just presents
• 💪 What true confidence is… and why it can never live in a sweatshirt or a report card
• ❤️ How to help kids feel special even if they don’t have one big “talent”
• 🧠 Tools to deal with anxiety and worry through emunah and better “stories”
• 🎁 Practical ideas for making Chanukah about giving, not only getting
• 📞 Small, real-life actions kids can take that are actually huge in Hashem’s eyes
