Jewish women and girls over the age of 3, light Shabbat candles tonight before sunset, and make the world that much brighter.
Your circumstances might not always be what you intended for them to be. But if you're a father, that never goes away. You'll ALWAYS be the father.
So don't get caught up in the victim mentality - ACT LIKE the father!

Fathers and Mothers each have their specific roles in the raising of children. That's not to say one can't assist the other, but if there is no understanding of the actual roles the family dynamic is at risk.
Let us know your thoughts:
"Just wait until your father gets home..." should be said not only when the child does something wrong, but also when the child does something very, very RIGHT.
Productive doesn't need to mean busy. Living your life on a schedule shouldn't mean your day is cluttered.
Everyone has their own way of keeping things orderly and sane.

There's no such thing as "Free Love," it always comes at a price. This has been proven again and again since its inception in the 60s.
Intimacy, however, is the secret sauce to a healthy relationship.
It's hard to overstate the damage of porn.
Men are givers in their essence, and it's impossible to be a giver without a recipient.
Porn replaces receivers with images on a screen. There's no one to take care of or make men feel needed.
Porn emasculated men.
Are we messing up our kids? When kids are raised with the notion that what they want is the most important thing, they grow up with a distorted perception of life.
Spoiled rotten kids generally make terrible adults.
Teach your kids that a life of service is a life worth living.
What if I'm just so accustomed to being a FAILURE? What if I'm not ready to be successful, because it's new territory, and that scares me?
Here's the solution:
The Secret to Raising Good Kids is to teach them to appreciate goodness, not just smarts or talents.
If you cultivate an appreciation in your child for intelligence, but not for goodness, you may end up with a brilliant little monster.
Can you be BAD at being bad? Does "free choice" really mean I can do what I want? I can hurt whoever I want?
Free choice means literally that. You are free to make bad CHOICES. How that pans out and who gets affected by them? That's totally up to G-d.
It's very important, especially for men, to take responsibility, get serious, and work hard.
It's equally important for men to be joyful! Smile!
"Serve god with joy!"
2,000 years ago the sages said, "Don't make conversation with the woman."Does that mean Judaism hates women?
Have you ever been sitting on a bus or train and feel the need to make conversation with the person next to you? Well, that depends, doesn't it...?
Hashem has been wearing a mask for 5,781 years, because in order to create the world, he needed to hide his face. Imagine how uncomfortable that must be! Let's bring Moshiach so that he can finally remove his mask!

GIVE A SMILE
Giving money is good. Generosity with your money is very good.
But, some people, as much as they need the money, or perhaps even more so, need a friend. Need a smile. they need a friendly face.
When you give charity, give it with a smile. Be generous with your soul.

We have become accustomed to upgrading our physical surroundings, but the time has come to upgrade our family life with as much care and consideration.
You're allowed to feel bad for making bad choices, but what happened as a result? That's up to G-d.
This is a clip from a life-changing conversation between Rabbi Manis Friedman and inmates at the California State Penitentiary.

If you're infatuated with yourself, don't impose that on someone else. When you've focused on your own life enough, only then are you ready to share your life with your soulmate.

We're not here to help God when it comes to human suffering. Our job is to argue in favor of others; if we can’t feed and save them we must at least defend other human beings.
God doesn’t play dice with the universe. Whenever two people come together in marriage, it signifies a special connection between two souls as well as a distinct opportunity
