In this week’s episode of Guiding Generations, Rabbi Shifman reflects on Parshas Tazria-Metzora and the lessons it holds for today’s parents. Against the backdrop of Yom HaShoah, he explores how messages—whether from history, our homes, or our children—are meant to be internalized, not ignored.

What does a house afflicted with tzaraas have to do with parenting? More than you might think. Rabbi Shifman uncovers a powerful educational message: the journey from discipline to discovery, from punishment to love. Through a moving Holocaust story and a surprising teaching about hidden jewels in the walls, he reveals how meaningful correction must come from a place of care—not anger.

This episode will leave you thinking differently about the messages we receive, the way we guide our children, and the treasures that can be found when we lead with love.
