The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mordechai Burg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

how do you maintain you know providing that support and that positivity also first of all I don't I don't know if I'm doing a a good job of it so I I think right away I can say that um you know for all those who are struggling as parents to be to be present I think that's an understandable thing something I definitely can relate to um you know sometimes the stressors of managing the yiva managing my own emotions um doesn't allow me to be the best parent that I would want to be and best parent that I would want to be and I think it's okay for people to give themselves permission to understand that we're not going to do this perfectly um so there are definitely times where I feel like I've got nothing left in the tank dealing with everything in my professional life and then coming home and trying to be the best parent that I can be for the kids is it's not always easy and I don't always do it well um I think uh what raban said is is 100% true we have a tremendous capacity as as a people to somehow find laughter in in people to somehow find laughter in in very difficult [Music] situations welcome back to the Jews next door as a nation we're going through a very challenging time our homeland AR Israel Israel is at War and so many lives have already been lost and the war and the tension seems to only continue to be rising so many people have been searching for meaning and wait that they can help during this time and so many parents have been reaching out to us at
