Oct 12 2020 The Torah of Bubbiehood

This bubbie has universal wisdom that could change your approach to everyday life. We invite you to watch this wonderful Eli Talk by Jane Shapiro.

Discover a personal account of Jane’s three Jewish values of Bubbiehood and their impact on family life:

1. 1. Tzimtzum (contraction): The overpowering love we feel for our grandchildren yet the realization we need to step back and allow our adult children to parent in their own way.
   2. Z’man kadosh (sacred time): Why it is important (and often hard) to designate time and to be fully present with our grandchildren.
   3. Sippur (storytelling): How our stories create an arc of time that can impart wisdom and link generations.

Jane’s reflections will impact your perspective — and bring joy to your heart.
