Listen "Can’t Have Holes in the Pipeline"
Episode Synopsis
In this week’s shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz takes last week’s funnel and makes it practical. It’s not enough to have powerful Torah and holy intentions—if the צינור, the pipeline between parent and child, has leaks, what we’re trying to pour in never really arrives.
Together we learn:
- The bridge before the message: why “content of chinuch” is stage two, and stage one is building a genuine bridge of trust and safety.
- Two channels that actually land: ma’aseh (personal example lived with simchah) and dibbur (speaking in a way that can be received—be’ofen hamitkabel).
- Age-gap wisdom: how to match language to a child’s kelî kibbul (capacity), and why over-pouring causes shut-down.
- Emet, Simchah, Savlanut: the core middot that seal the leaks—humility to listen, honesty to live what we say, and patience to pace what we give.
- From teaching to mesirah: “Moshe kibel… umesarah l’Yehoshua”—chinuch is not lecturing; it’s transmitting, intact, heart to heart.
- A tefillah approach: why we daven while we learn parenting Torah, so the words don’t stay ideas—they become life.
Practical takeaways:
Identify one “leak” in your pipeline (tone, timing, vocabulary, pace) and patch it this week.
Share one value in child-level language and model it with a small, joyful action before you explain it.
End the day with a 30-second tefillah for the bridge between you and each child.
