“I love you all equally!” How many times have we reassured our children that none of them are the favorite and that we love them all equally? In Jewish tradition, we are taught that the first born has a special place and earns a unique status amongst the offspring but again and again we see the Torah struggling with this tradition. We will see what we can learn from their struggles and how we can come to see all of our children as equally worthy, beautiful, special and loved. Wednesday's at 10:30 AM
