    good point, I probably shouldn’t put the whole thing, just a taste.

    For one thing, people need good models and examples. If children experience an environment where there is good middos, joy of Torah and Mitzvos, and ahavas yisrael, then the children will hopefully want to follow that. Of course, no one is perfect and there might be times when negative situations come up that might or might not have an impact. In that case, we should also teach people how to be strong despite negative situations. That’s why we need a strong foundation when we learn, so we are resilient and don’t let things tear us down.

    Communication is key to a strong relationship with family. Plus, listening to how they feel, and being understanding and patient.

    Also, pray to know how to help your family, because we can’t do it without G-d’s help. πŸ™‚

    If you want a nice conversation then it’s best to start with something nice. Don’t light a match and be upset with the fire.

    Maybe you were just being funny like when a friend says, you crazy.

    But some might not take it that way. Please give us another chance, thanks πŸ™‚

    That’s a good question. I heard that even though G-d has no gender, we say Him because the term represents G-d’s giving. Like a husband who gives to his wife, Hashem gives to us.

    Book 2

    Writer soul graduates from school and can now do the missions again. One problem is that she still has to continue with school. It seemed like an eternity. She looked at a older woman enviously. She grabbed a drink from Starbucks and headed out.

    Do you ever think that a certain user is one gender or the other and then find out that you were wrong. When you find out, you can’t change that image.

    Teens usually act out because they want to be independent and be their own person. they need both space and boundaries. It’s hard to find a balance, but we should keep trying. Some advice i read somewhere was talk to them about things, listen to them, and pick what to be strict about, for ex. drinking, etc. and what to let go, for ex. a small thing that’s irritating but Not important.

    For parents in general, Project Yes has some good parenting resources B’H

    This is a great idea. We often notice the negative that goes on in different places, but we should also notice the positive.

    I’ll compliment Goq for his sense of humor and his caring and concern for others in the community. In my opinion, would make a good mentor.

    Good point they do need a break and to recharge. Maybe money is the incentive to keep going during a break. But they still need a break so they don’t get burnt out. Sometimes mundane things like relaxing seem like a waste of time, but it can actually be a mitzvah when the purpose is to be refreshed and learn better

    I laugh too, but at stuff like funny auto correct messages, it’s hysterical. I think when posting a comment on online though, we have to be careful to not embarrass or hurt someone. But we can still laugh privately.

    I think that people want to sometimes just have fun after a long day, and this place helps us to unwind and laugh. But there are still some good serious intelligent messages too. Sometimes someone who is usually funny might write something more serious. I think it’s interesting to see different sides to people. I enjoy how it has different types of messages both serious and funny

    I agree. They need love and support. They are going through a hard time. We sometimes want to fix things quickly, but we need patience. If we show them we are there for them, they will hopefully come around.

    If you feel bad that your learning beforehand was just for the sake of convenience, maybe work on doing it just for the sake of learning. Of course, that inner voice might still bother you, so you might have to continue carrying two.

    I think your care for the matter is awesome and G-d appreciates your care.

    Something i wrote a few years ago on a blog.

    I was listening to a lecture and the speaker mentioned about awe and love of G-d. He said that Yiras Hashem(fear of G-d) does not mean terror. The word yira is connected to the word ro’eh(see)

    For example, in a relationship, a person should see the preciousness of the other and respect the other person. From there, the person goes on to work on love. Respect motivates us to notice the other and honor them; we don’t dream of hurting the relationship we have with someone. – Love motivates us to be close to them –

    So too, we should work on noticing Hashem in our life who gives us both pleasant things and challenges, which we see in retrospect is for the best. And we should work on Yirah, respecting Him and the people around us. Plus, we should be aware that when we do something wrong, we hurt the relationship, which in turn makes us grow apart from each other. However, it can be mended and healed if we put in the effort to do so. It’s best of course, to try not to mess up, but of course it’s happens b/c we’re human, and so there’s teshuva.

    Once we have Yirah and respect for G-d , we build the love.

    By the way, one good way to build a connection is through personal prayer.

    Sometimes, people just want to be acknowledged how they feel. For example, someone mentions a certain challenge, and the other person replies, that sounds very difficult.

    It’s silly for women to be looked at as inferior. Just because people have different roles doesn’t mean one is better than the other. They are both important people

    It’s one thing to have different viewpoints and discuss it. It’s another thing to fight and have ill feelings towards others.

    What divides us is when people look at other people like aliens. Look at those…..

    We need to see each other as brothers and sisters. And if we have different issues and viewpoints, we should work it out in a productive way. We can disagree and still respect each other.

    We can mention nice things from different groups so we don’t give away who we are πŸ™‚

    In general, one thing we Jews should work on is judging favorably. In life, we have situations where someone upsets us either during an argument, or because of a money issue, or is more lenient or strict than us…… It’s easy to think negative. The thing is to turn our view to try to see what they are going through, and try them in a positive light. It might be difficult, but each effort counts.

    When you have made your point continuously and they still don’t chap it. It’s no use.

    Halevi has a good point, find another way to say it.

    It’s a rule of writing. When making a novel, there needs to be conflict and a resolution, and sometimes there’s a sad ending, but happy ones are much better in my opinion. Plus, it’s more realistic when the characters have challenges and try to work it out.

    Is it because they don’t have time after class to talk? Maybe ask if you can call them when they are available. Can you visit them on Shabbos maybe? Hatzlacha
