Young Jewish adults face a new set of relationships. In the past, there were classmates, neighbors, and relatives. Now the circle of relationships has expanded.
Join us as we try to understand how our actions relate to others - and how our decisions impact on others.
- Now that I�ve become more religiously observant, I would like to find a group of people who are similar to me. How and where can I find them?
- Sometimes I feel that I am wiser than my elders. Do I always have to respect their opinions?
- The chores that my parents expect me to do at home dig into my social life. How can I tell them that I need more time of my own?
- My retarded sister embarrasses me. Will this affect my future social plans?
- I do not mingle easily in a crowd, so I am always left out. What should I do?
- I have a problem with my parents. May I pose the problem on the Jewish Parenting group, in order to receive their advice and guidance?
- I�ve been invited to somebody for Shabbat. What should I bring?
- I�ve been invited to somebody for Shabbat. How do I know whether their standards of Kashrut meet my own?
- I�ve been invited to a party. How do I know whether the food that will be served meets my standards of Kashrut?
- I�ve been invited to a party. The planned entertainment does not meet my religious standards. Should I go?
- I hurt somebody�s feelings. How can I make up for it?
- How can I make more friends?
- How can I find others who share my own interests?
- My peers/parents/friends/relatives are pressuring me into doing something. I don't want to do it. How do I tell them to leave me alone?
