Are We Raising a Fragile Generation? | Rabbi Daniel Kalish

About this episode

Rabbi Daniel Kalish discusses the implications of prioritizing comfort in education and its effects on resilience in today's generation.

Today’s generation is often told Judaism should feel inspiring, validating, and “geshmak.” But what happens when comfort becomes the goal? Rabbi Daniel Kalish goes Behind the Bima for a serious discussion about chinuch, emotional culture, discipline, and whether resilience is being strengthened... or softened... in the process.
