Episode Synopsis

How much influence do grandparents really have in their grandchildren’s lives? In this episode of Connecting Jewish Grandparents, Sharona shares her background in Social Work and explores Systems Theory and Bronfenbrenner’s Spheres of Influence to reveal how grandparents impact not just the home, but the entire ecosystem surrounding their family.
From the microsystem of family rituals and weekly calls, to the macrosystem of Jewish values and traditions, grandparents play a powerful role in shaping identity and legacy. Sharona ties these ideas to her Joy Kit circles, showing how practical, joyful activities can bring theory to life across generations.
Whether you’re a grandparent near or far, this episode will inspire you to see your influence as ripple effects of love, values, and presence. Discover how to strengthen your role in your family system while honoring parents, traditions, and community.
