I’ve seen it so it must be. Did you look at his blog? But maybe he sent it to me privately in advance of the interview.

Is the list of 73 ways of spending time with your teenager available on line?

I’m a regular and my son’s Bar Mitzvah is coming up so I’d love to hear more abut teen-agers! I need all the help I can get.

RM–Thanks. I want to post more about teenagers, but I don’t want my “regulars” (all three of them!) to get bored either! Interesting about your brother; I remember you mentioned him once.
LL–Thanks for stopping by! A secular Israeli school would be a real eye-opener for an American teenager from an Orthodox home. Is she in Bnei Brak?

Very interesting interview. I wouldn’t have found you if you hadn’t visited my blog, for which I thank you. As for my kids, some are religious and some not (they grew up in an Orthodox home.) My youngest, who is in the Naaleh program in Israel and is shortly enlisting in the army, is becoming a ba’alat teshuva . She came to this on her own, after being in a secular Israeli school and seeing what it had to offer, Jewishly and spiritually (not very much…) But if I had tried to force her to become observant, she would have rebelled in the opposite direction.

I think this was great – although we’re not at this stage yet, I try to bookmark the idea of “relationship, relationship, relationship” in my mind.
On another note, you never know where kids will end up even after a long disconnect. One of my own brothers was by far the very least likely of all of us to be religious. Today, he’s a (serious, not hippy) Breslover in Yerushalayim, happily married with 5 kids.

Another great interview. Glad you aren’t sticking to your side of the mechitza.
