InKredible Kids

You Are a Light: For Parents and Kids

• Tziri Preis

Share episode

It’s been a little while… and Morah Tziri is back with big news and a powerful Chanukah conversation. ✨

Together let's dive into a heart-opening Chanukah episode with the one and only Mrs. Slovie Jungreis Wolff – daughter of Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis and a beloved teacher, author, and speaker.

This episode is not just for kids and not just for parents. It’s meant to be listened to together. Around the table, in the car, in the kitchen – wherever your family listens best.

Morah Tziri and Mrs. Wolff talk honestly about:

  • What real confidence looks like (hint: it’s not your sneakers or your swag)
  • How to handle jealousy, comparison, and “stuff” in a world that always has more
  • Why every child has their own “spiritual fingerprints” that no one else in the world has
  • How even “ordinary” kids can be heroes in tiny, quiet ways
  • Turning Chanukah from “What did you GET?” into “What did we GIVE?”
  • Anxiety, worry, and how to stop writing scary stories in your head
  • The power of kids’ tefillos and why adults are literally counting on them

Along the way you’ll hear:

  • A bar mitzvah sweatshirt story that flips “popularity” on its head
  • How a 10-year-old slime maker turned her hobby into a $1,000 mitzvah project
  • A mashal about a bird and a lion that will change the way your kids think about jealousy
  • A beautiful idea to see your children as holy lights when you look at them by the menorah

This is an episode you can come back to again and again – for Chanukah, for tough days, and for those quiet moments when your child asks, “Am I really special?”

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

  • 🕯️ How Chanukah gives us eight nights of real family connection, not just presents
  • 💪 What true confidence is… and why it can never live in a sweatshirt or a report card
  • ❤️ How to help kids feel special even if they don’t have one big “talent”
  • 🧠 Tools to deal with anxiety and worry through emunah and better “stories”
  • 🎁 Practical ideas for making Chanukah about giving, not only getting
  • 📞 Small, real-life actions kids can take that are actually huge in Hashem’s eyes

Hey kids, welcome back to the next episode of the Incredible Kids Podcast. My name is Morah Tziri, and I will be your host through this inKredible journey. We are going to meet many inKredible kids. They are going to share with us their stories. Some of them super cool and different like you've never heard before. And some you may say are just ordinary, but all of them inKredible. If you have great ideas, email me today at iKidspodcast at gmail.com. And now it's time for Incredible Kids! Hi everybody and welcome back to the Incredible Kids Podcast. It's Moritzi here. And first of all, I just want to say it's been a little while since I've put out a new episode, and I want to share with you why. With so much gratitude to Hashem, we were blessed with a brand new baby girl, and I'm literally putting this episode out in between changing papers and taking care of this precious, precious baby Nishama. But this was something I really wanted to prioritize. I wanted to get this episode to your families in time for Chanukah, for you to enjoy together in your home or wherever you're gonna be listening to this. And because our family samcha is your samcha, I wanted to officially welcome our newest inKredible kid into the world. Tehilla. Tehilla means praise. And I am so deeply thankful to Hashem for the endless brachos in my life. And this Tehilla is a gift to our family, and I truly, truly believe she's really a gift to the whole Jewish nation. It has been so special bringing her into this world while in the middle of working to create inspiring content for the future of the Jewish nation involved in Sahilim army and all the other things that I believe that hopefully will be infused in Tahila forever. My own prayer, my own tefila for her is that she will always understand her own unique value, like I wish for every single one of you. She should recognize her gift, always look for the good, always praise Hashem her entire life throughout everything. And she should inspire me and our family and everyone around her to do the same. And now before we dive into today's very special episode, I want to take one quick moment for a really important Chanukah plug. Last Chanukah. You guys remember? We released the inKredible kids film, Am I a Hero? And if your family hasn't seen it yet, it's truly a must-watch. It's an inKredible opportunity to sit together as a family and see how every single person can be a hero, big or small. You can watch it at ikfilm.org and you'll actually hear it come up organically later in this conversation I'm about to share with you, which was totally unplanned and actually really special to talk about. And if you're looking for a fun Chanukah gift that also supports inKredible kids, check out our merch at inKrediblekids.org. It's a real win-win. Okay, now let's talk about today's episode. We're heading straight into Chanukah. A time of light, a time of courage, a time of standing strong for who we are. And today's conversation couldn't be more perfectly timed. This episode is something really special because it's not just for kids. And it's really not only for parents. This is one of those rare conversations I don't know have ever happened before that I truly believe parents and children should listen to together. In the car, at the table, before bedtime, wherever your family listens best. For our family, it's often in the kitchen with a speaker, sitting around, coloring or cooking or whatever we're doing in the background. The conversation that you're about to hear is going to talk about a lot of things that might come up in your own home. Peer pressure, self-esteem, confidence, being proud to be Jewish, handling challenges, and learning how to believe in yourself, even when it's really hard. It's real, it's honest, it's an open discussion, it's not like a speech. You're not like sitting down to listen to blah blah blah. It's inviting the kids into talking about something that really doesn't usually happen when we talk about how to raise our children. We want you there for this. So whether you're a kid listening on your own or a parent listening with your child or a parent listening on their own, I can't wait for you to experience this inKredible conversation with the one and only Robitson, Mrs. Slavy Young Rice Wolf. We're gonna call her Mrs. Wolf. I say young Rice Wolf because she comes from such a special, special family. You'll hear a little bit about that in the episode, but there's really much more to say. Let's get right into it. I introduce to you, Mrs. Wolf. First of all, I'm so excited that you're here. Thank you. Most people who come onto this podcast are children or teenagers. And from time to time, we bring on different sorts of adults, professionals, people who can guide us. And I have never done so much homework beforehand. Prep work. Okay. So I have your book here. I have like my little uh sticky notes sticking out of it. And I have my clipboard.

Speaker 1:

I know my work.

unknown:

No.

Speaker 11:

This is so, so not my type. Back to school. Yeah, back to school, exactly. And I feel like the best part about being an adult is that you get to choose your own moras and mentors and teachers. So when you actually feel motivated to connect with what they're sharing with you, you want to be prepared. You know, that is too. And that was something I noticed at PTA last night for my kids. And of course, I will not say names of children or teachers, but the teachers who they like and the teachers who they respect the most. There's that relationship, they're getting something out of it. Those are the ones where they're thriving, you know, in school the most. And that's true. You have to want to be there. Exactly. So I want to be here.

Speaker:

Okay. I want to be here too.

Speaker 11:

Okay. So if I may, I just want to say something first that it's been on my mind. I'm a mommy, thank God. Bar Hashem. I'm also a podcast host, but first and foremost, I am a mother to my children and they keep me very busy. They keep me on my toes. And it's forcing me to make myself a better person. So every single day I learn, oh, looks like I need to work on my patients. I thought my anger was under control. I guess not, right? Every day is something else. And I think we're so lucky that we're living in a time where parents, mothers and fathers, are willing to say to their children, I am becoming a better parent. I'm working on myself. Because it used to be, and Mrs. Wolf, you'll tell me if this is something that you think is true. This is just what I think. When a parent wanted to try to figure out how to help their child, they didn't always think, oh, what can I do for myself that's gonna help? They would be like, How can I fix this kid? It would be like a secret. Like they would, they would buy like a book from Barnes and Nobles and they would hide it in the bathroom. And like the kids would go to the parents' bathroom and find the book called like raising your spirited child. And they're like, What's wrong with me? So now it's like the opposite. And I feel like more and more parents are like, it's okay. We're not perfect, but we're learning together. So I invite parents and children together to listen to our conversation, and that's who I want to listen to this episode. So with that said, Mrs. Wolf, I'm so happy you're here. Please introduce yourself to everyone.

Speaker:

Thank you so much. I'm so happy to be here. I've never done a podcast like this before, though. I've done so many podcasts for Hashem.

unknown:

Lucky lucky, RB, lucky, lucky, are we?

Speaker:

Um, so my name is Slavi Wolf. I am the daughter of Robertson Esther Younggreis, who actually spoke in Madison Square Garden and spoke all over the world about what it means to be a Jew with tremendous passion.

Speaker 4:

You have me a people apart. You are a Jew. You have you are a Jew.

Speaker:

My parents both lived through the Holocaust, and my grandparents did as well, so they gave us a tremendous background as to who we are, our roots, and how we should be so strong and proud of who we are. I try to give that message over to all ages, and I am very proud too to be able to speak to this generation and to young children. I teach in Manhattan High School for girls, 11th and 12th grade. So I love doing that as well because it gives me hope for the next star, for the next generation of Am Israel. You really are the ones who are going to carry us to G'ula.

Speaker 11:

The torchbearers.

Speaker:

Yes, the torchbearers, yes. And all of us are. So parents and children together, when you work together, that creates a beautiful family. And teachers as well.

Speaker 11:

Yes. I don't know if the children here know about rabbi and rabbits and youngreists, your parents, but a lot of your parents have heard of them before and grandparents. They were major, major, major tsadikim and people who built up America post-Holocaust in many ways are a New York area for sure. It's like you look at yourself as like, I need to continue and help the next generation keep going.

Speaker:

We have a story, and it's a beautiful story. So we're not here by ourselves and we're not here on our own. We have tremendous roots. When you have a tree that's very strong, the the tree stands when there's a lot of wind and storms when you have strong roots. Roots give you an identity and roots give you an understanding of where you came from. If I know where I came from, I know where I'm going in life.

Speaker 11:

Behind your head, I see a series of pictures of from the olden days. Can I make a guess? Yes. Are those like young Grace people from long ago?

Speaker:

My grandparents, my great grandparents, my father. Yes. And whenever I am with my computer here, I'm always remembering where I came from, right behind me. And it gives me a lot of strength. All of us have hubbies and zadis. We come from greatness of Amustral. We have to know that. Even if the world says whatever they say, or you have a hard day in school, you have to know and remember where you came from to give you the strength to get up tomorrow morning and to keep on going and be proud of who you are. Do a little self-work to have that strength. It's muscle. Life is a gym, right? And sometimes we have to work on muscles in order to strengthen ourselves. Otherwise, we'll never know that we even have those muscles.

Speaker 1:

I want to find out what you do every day. Well, every day is different, which makes it exciting for me.

Speaker:

I teach a lot, I speak a lot, I travel a lot. I just came back from a trip to Poland where I take women to Poland and I give the story of my family as well as the story of Amisra. We do a lot of Davening on the trip. We see where we've come from. I just came back Thursday night, and believe it or not, I'm going back Sunday.

Speaker 11:

Well, I know. I and I'm so lucky that I got you in the sandwich zone.

Speaker:

The sandwich zone. So so invaluable. I have women that I teach and couples that I teach. Tonight I'll be speaking to a group of young college girls who did not grow up, knowing what it means to be Jewish and from and giving them identity. And I'm a mommy and a bubby and a wife, so I love having my family with me. That's the most important and the most joyous of all.

Speaker 11:

Wonderful. So we're gonna jump right into it. And you have a book that is called The Soul of Parenting.

Speaker 1:

I actually have two books. This is a continuation.

Speaker 11:

My first book's first book.

Speaker:

It's called Raising a Child with Soul. And this is okay, yes.

Speaker 11:

That book I know. But this one over here is the sequel to it. This is the number two.

Speaker:

Yes. This is number two. It's very easy reading. I I love both books, but they both emphasize different things. If you want to build a child's self-esteem, if a child wants to know about the Holocaust, why is that important? If you want to make your child feel proud in their identity, how do I do that? It's for children too to know and to understand what it means to be growing up in the world today.

Speaker 11:

So the thing that I love already on the cover of it is that it says the soul of parenting, timeless wisdom for raising today's children. This was how it popped into my head to bring you on to Incredible Kids because I said, you know, it's very important for parents to learn and grow. And if they're doing that, that's amazing. And then it's also important for children to know different things. And sometimes they get it through their parents. And sometimes, you know what? Let's have an opportunity where we can have Mrs. Wolf talk directly to the children, who is our whole goal. If your parent is reading a book like this, they're doing it for all of us, for the whole family to grow.

Speaker:

So true. And you know what you need? If you look at the cover, there's a hidden picture.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if you can if you got it. Do you see it? I definitely did not know there was a hidden picture. Now I'm looking at it. One second. Let's see if you see the hidden picture that you could find. It's a little raised. Uh-huh. One second. It's a heart.

Speaker 11:

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The heart. Right. Yeah, it's like a little uh faded heart, yeah.

Speaker:

Because you need to have an open heart. Every child and every parent needs to have an open heart to hear each other. That's why I put that there. Beautiful.

Speaker 11:

One of the most important things that we talk about here on Incredible Kids is self-confidence and feeling good about ourselves despite whatever is going on in our lives. I really want to talk about what real confidence is. Because sometimes people say confidence is like this and confidence looks like that. And I know that, oh, that could be good, but what does the real confidence look like? When I say I'm confident, what does it really look like? I know you talk about this in your books. Like if I had to pick, if I was going through the table of contents, I would go, oh, confidence. Let's read about that, right?

Speaker:

Because when we're confident, then we can stand up for what we believe in. We believe in ourselves and we don't have to push somebody else down to feel good about ourselves. Most bullies don't feel good about themselves. That's why they bully. So where do we get confidence from? And you know what? I'm talking to all the kids listening right now. We make a big mistake. And we think that if I just get something, I buy something, I'll have those sneakers or that sweatshirt. Then I'm going to feel good about myself and I'll be confident. But I could never be confident from a thing. Because if somebody takes away that thing, or then there's a new thing that everybody gets, I don't have the confidence inside of me. It has to be right here inside of me. Confidence. It can't be from somebody else. It can't be from a thing. And confidence is not arrogance. Arrogance means gaiva. It means you have an attitude and that turns into being angry or entitled. That's not confidence. Confidence means that I believe in myself. Hashem gifted me with something that I have that nobody else has in the world, and I can use that something to make this world into a better place. Make our world a better place. Nobody could ever take that away from me, ever. And I'm the only one in the whole world that has that magic. That's why Hashem put me into the world now. Because if I was created and put here, now it means the world needs me. Nobody else has what I have. Now I have to figure out what that is and how to use it to make this world into a better place. It doesn't depend on marks, it doesn't depend on things, doesn't depend on sneakers, doesn't depend on backpacks, doesn't depend on the type of car my parents drive. It just depends on me, who I am in this world.

Speaker 11:

There was one story at the opening to the chapter about the bar mitzvah. Yes. Um do you want to share that story? I know the age. I know how hard it is sometimes when things are competitive, and I think it's so important. I think there's a lot of bar and bas mitzvah age listeners as well. And everyone else who would love to hear that story.

Speaker:

There's a mother who comes to my classes, and she said to me that her child is often left out of the bar mitzvahs, where they give different swag, and the kids come into school afterwards, and everybody's either wearing a sweatshirt or holding something that they got, and her child always feels bad. But this time her child was invited because the two fathers do business together. She did not want her child to come into school wearing that sweatshirt that they were giving out and making other children feel bad. And her child was upset. Like finally, I get to be included. I get to wear that sweatshirt. Why can't I? And show everyone that I was invited to that or mitzvah. And her mother said, when you go, and this is what I've tried to teach to parents and to children, when you go through something and you feel bad about it, you were excluded. Let's say you weren't invited to a sleepover or you weren't invited to a pizza party or like this, you don't get the swag. You need to take something out of that experience. So either you could take out that I'm hurt, I'm angry, I'm going to do it back to them. That's the thing that would probably come to your brain first. Of course. Yeah. Of course. But you know what would be really great to recognize, to realize, to feel that. And once you are invited, to say, I'm not going to do this to somebody else because I know what it feels like not to be included. So she told her child, I don't want you wearing that sweatshirt to school. And they were very upset about it. But she explained that a sweatshirt can't make you feel part of things because the next party's coming and you're not wearing the sweatshirt, and those aren't real friends for you if they only like you for your sweatshirt, right? So you go in the way you are. Oh yeah. And you see who your real friends are and you don't make other people feel bad. That child then went to school Monday morning, not wearing the sweatshirt, a little bit annoyed and upset, but came home saying, Wow, look at those kids in those stupid sweatshirts. Because I didn't need that to feel good about myself. Why do you need something like that to make yourself feel popular? It's not real.

Speaker 11:

It was so mature of that child to realize that though, because it could be like, you know, oh my gosh, my mother doesn't get it.

Speaker:

It's hard. It's hard. Growing up is hard and becoming a greater person is hard. I want to be able to do that now and not wait till I'm older and realize if I don't have this thing, I don't feel good about myself. I want to feel that now. Know who I am now. Work on myself now. Immersive. Immorso. Because too many adults think that they need things to feel good. And we get big problems from that. Who am I? Why am I here in this world? Even if you're a child, you can make such a big difference in this world. That's where confidence comes from. Do your best. Know why you're here. I want to tell you something. There was a girl that I teach, a young girl. She came with her mother to a Chanukah class that I gave, and my daughter actually spoke about Yehudis. We're coming to Chanukah, right? So Yehudis was a heroine in Chanukah. And after the class, this 10 year old girl came over to me and she said, I want to be like Jehudas. And I gave a smile like That's so great. What are we going to do? You want to be like your dis and she said, I want to make a difference in this world. So I said to her, Well, what do you like to do? And she said, I love to make slime. I'm the best slime maker in my whole class. I said to her, I have a great idea for you. We're making a special Shabbos for all the women and girls that I teach. We're doing a Thursday night mock shabbas. And I wanted to give out something very special for everyone. Would you like to sell your slime? And with that money, let's see what we can give out. And it'll be your mitzvah. She made a crazy amount of slime. Okay. Grandmother sold her slime. She sold so much slime that she made a thousand dollars.

Speaker 11:

Wow. I'm thinking of all those parents who have to clean the slime out of the carpet now, but I'm gonna keep my mouth closed.

Speaker:

Okay, I wasn't there. She did it in her basement. It doesn't matter. Yeah, exactly. She made the most beautiful chalic covers, and on the back, she embroidered a message to everyone about Shabbos with her name and actually did it zu chus of my mother. They were beautiful. I use her chalik covers till today. And she made a difference in the world. Wow. Slime, right?

Speaker 11:

It's amazing. That's confidence. I love that. You mentioned that it's Chanukah soon. Last year, we made a Chanukah full-length films. Wow. That was beautiful, and it's still gonna be available to watch this year as well. I'm on ikfilm.org. This video is called Am I a Hero? When I was naming the whole video, I traveled to three different cities and I profiled a hero in their city. We met three different children who are doing big things for the world while they're still in elementary school. And we videoed them in school and we videoed their friends, and it was a whole amazing project. And then we compared each of them to someone from the Chanukah story. So one child was compared to Ihudis, one child was compared to Yehuda Hamakabi, and one was compared to Matasiau Koengado. Wow. So it's actually funny that you're saying I love that. And if anybody's ever made a movie before, sometimes the most impactful moments in the film could be one second on camera, but they can take hours of planning.

Speaker 10:

Yes. Yes.

Speaker 11:

Ordering so we had I ordered costumes for Matasiahu, Yehudis, and Yahuda Hamakabi, and then we had to like make sure they were normal and this and whatever. Amazon returns back and forth, and I brought the costumes with me, and I had the child dress as Yohudis, let's say, look at herself in the mirror and ask herself, am I a hero? Am I a hero? Because it was very important to me that the video wasn't called I Am a Hero, because I want every child to ask themselves that question often as a question. We should always be questioning ourselves rather than when we give a compliment to someone, we say, like, you're awesome, you're great. I want it to come from within. So I want it to be that it's the reverse that we're questioning ourselves. Because sometimes in life we don't have that. And we shouldn't be waiting for compliments. We shouldn't be waiting for someone to say, you got this. It is nice when that happens. And it is important that we have cheerleaders in our lives.

unknown:

Woo!

Speaker 11:

But then you are yourself. We have the gift of self. If we can realize that and ask ourselves those kind of questions, that was my whole goal. So I like the idea of a child realizing that we have that potential. Like this wonderful girl you're sharing about, I don't know if she still makes slime, but who cares if she makes slime anymore? That's not the point.

Speaker:

She she's on to other things, but she's 16 now. But nobody could ever take that moment away from her. Right. I want to add to what you're saying that am I a hero? Sometimes you're a hero for getting out of bed and getting to school on time in the morning. It doesn't have to be that you raise a thousand dollars. What you do that is hard for you to do, and then you do it, and you do it well with a smile on your face. Sometimes it's hard to study for a test and keep your notes clean and clear and other things are pulling you, but you did it. You're a hero for doing that. Sometimes it's when you include somebody who you really don't want to include. She's not part of your group. He's not part of your group. But you say, you know what, you're invited. That's huge. To me, that's a hero.

Speaker 11:

Especially when no one else notices.

Speaker:

Yes. But Hashem notices everything.

Speaker 11:

Oh, when I say no one, I just mean people, of course.

Speaker:

But we we wait for people to notice 100%. But we have to remember that not only does Hashem notice everything, but we have to know for ourselves. We began and we spoke about who am I? This is part of who I am. Am I able to overcome a challenge? And for everyone, it's a different challenge. For some people, you don't even realize it's a big challenge to get to school on time. You did that? That's amazing. You were quick in the morning. You didn't just go slow. You couldn't get it. You did it. And it was hard for you. That's amazing. You got to bed on time. That's also an amazing thing.

Speaker 11:

When a kid is just like, you're like, okay, let's go, kitchen. You have to like keep like coaching them. You're almost there. Now you got you put your shoes on. Now you're standing at the go choose a cereal. And you come back five minutes later and they're still staring at the cereal boxes. What is going on?

Speaker:

So everybody has a moment where you can say, Today I was a hero.

Speaker 1:

Exactly. You could be a hero for choosing your cereal quickly.

Speaker 11:

Quickly. We know that Hashem creates each of us in a different way. Some kids think that like they need to be amazing at something. Like, in order for me to feel good at myself, I need to have certain talent. I need to be musical. I need to have a beautiful voice. I need to be a gymnastics professional. I need to beat everyone at chess. I need whatever. The list goes on. And sometimes you don't have that one thing as much as you try. And it could feel very like, like, what am I known for? Especially when others are being celebrated for wonderful achievements. And even sometimes I feel guilty, Mrs. Wolf. Like, I'll feature kids on the podcast who are a seasoned gymnast. We did before. And I'm so proud of her. And I'm proud of everyone who makes the effort. But sometimes I feel like maybe people think, wait, if I don't have something so out of the ordinary and superior about me, then I'm not worthy of being Cold's inKredible kid. I hope that message is not the case, but in case it is, I kind of want to just talk about that for a minute when we talk about feeling good about ourselves. Because in truth, like we mentioned before about like the slime, it's not about like you're the best this or the best that. So how can we help everybody feel for parents and children, really, if they never really gained this skill as a kid? When I was little, it wasn't like cool to talk about this stuff. So I need it also. How can parents teach this and how can kids feel that Hasham really made me enough and I am just great and I am valuable despite how talented I am?

Speaker:

So we don't become great by calling ourselves great. And I think a lot of times we make a mistake by telling children, you're amazing, you're the best, you're the most beautiful. Those are words that don't mean anything. What I would ask parents to do, if you're listening right now, is look at your child, really look at your child and help them discover what it is about them that is unique and special. For some, maybe it's being responsible. For some, it's a great sense of humor. For some, they're a great baker. For some, they have a wonderful personality. But just to say you're amazing doesn't do anything for me. If you want to look at a miracle right now, I would ask every kid listening right now to look at your fingers. And you're going to say, why is that a miracle? Because no one has your fingerprints in the whole entire world of billions of people. Nobody. Why did Hashem do this? So that you know that you have something that only you can give. My fingerprints are only mine. And then I have to figure out how to take my fingerprints, my spiritual fingerprints, and bring them into this world. So maybe you love kids. Maybe you create a babysitting. What can you do about that? There is somebody down the block who needs your help, or maybe in your family. You're the one who's able to calm a child who's younger than you. Maybe you can help somebody who needs an extra pair of hands. It doesn't always have to be something that is, wow, look what you did, and that makes you inKredible. As long as you make a difference in this world and you don't only live for yourself. You're great at cooking, you're great at baking, let's say. Do something for Shabbos or do something in a house where you know that they could use a little pick-me-up. Everyone can call a Bobby and Zadie before Shabbos. You know that you are going to make a difference in your grandparents' life for that. I'm not saying a text. Anyone can text. But if you call and you just say, Hi Bobby, hi Zadie, hi Safta, hi grandma, hi grandpa, whatever you call your grandparents. Believe me, you right now, when you make that call before Shabbos, it could be a five-second call. Just good Shabbos, and I love you. How are you? You don't know what that does for a grandparent. That I call inKredible because you're not just living for yourself. You're making a difference in this world. You brought a smile to someone else's face. Who can say that they've done that? It's beautiful, and that's inKredible.

Speaker 11:

That really is. Yeah. You're reminding me. I did read in this book that I have of yours. You were very good about this with your children, and you speak about it. How you encourage your kids to visit their grandmother and to interact. I don't remember, was it your mother who had a walker? Who had a walker? My mother. And your daughter.

Speaker:

Yes, my daughter.

Speaker 1:

Wanted to decorate her walker, right?

Speaker:

Yes, because my mother did not like her walker. Because your mother was just like regal queen. Yes. And it came to a point in her life where she was still speaking all over the world, but she had to use a walker and it really bothered her. So one night my daughter, who was in twelfth grade at the time, went with her friend to Michael's. And they put all types of stickers and gluons and sequins and flowers. You thought also like silk flowers. And she came and surprised my mother and she decorated her walker and made it into something gorgeous. And we called it Bubby's Bling.

Speaker 1:

Bubby's bling. I love that.

Speaker:

People would ask her, where did you get that gorgeous walker?

Speaker 1:

So fun. So fun. Anyone can do it though. I'm saying it's Yes, of course. We have to use our imagination.

Speaker:

But just bring a smile to somebody else's world, to somebody else's life. You will realize that you feel so much better about yourself when you know that you're able to give and not always take.

Speaker 11:

Yeah. I don't do this all the time at all. But sometimes if I'm making, let's say, a batch of cookies, I say to myself, okay, let's double the batch and just think of someone who could use the second batch. It's beautiful. Right? Like, why not? We're doing it anyways sometimes, and that fills us up. It's amazing what it does for you as well.

Speaker:

There's a student in school, and every Rosh Kode, she brings in something she made for everyone. Just have a recess. Everybody could use that pick-me-up in school, and you bring smiles to somebody's face. To me, that's inKredible. You're not just thinking of yourself.

Speaker 11:

Yeah. That's how you grow. I think that something really hard for kids now, I'll speak on behalf of really everyone, probably, is that we're living in a time of so much. Like it used to be in the olden days, like they probably had a jump rope. Like the rich kids had a nicer jump rope and the poor kids had a tatter jump rope. Now there just seems to be this endless amount of stuff that people have. And we discussed stuff for a minute before. But sometimes as a family, it's important to appreciate what we actually do have. We have enough. We do so much as a family. Look how many beautiful things we have. Because sometimes a parent could be frustrated because they're like, I took you out for supper for Roche Khodash. We went somewhere for vacation. Maybe it wasn't on an airplane, but we still spent a lot of money and we did something. And then there's always like, but it's not fair, but they're going here. And it's always gonna be the case. Like there will always be the people who are doing fancy schmancy things and wearing cooler clothes and whatever it is, there's always gonna be more. So how would you guide like a whole family together to just kind of work on that? Like, we don't need to keep up with the Joneses so much.

Speaker:

We live in a hard world. It's true. And in the from world, a lot of people gather a lot of stuff. I can tell you that they're happier with all the stuff. They just have a lot of stuff. But for kids, it's hard when you see all this stuff or you hear about this family going here and this family flying there, and we never get to go anywhere. So how do you deal with that? I'll recognize that it's hard, number one. I'm not going to say it's an easy situation. I think a lot of adults have to learn how to deal with that as well when they hear that this family bought a house here and this family is flying there. We're going away for Pesach there, and I have to stay home and cook and clean for Pesach. Let's recognize that for every age that could be hard. And people have different things and different situations in life. We say every day a bracha, a sali culthi. We have to really believe that Hashem gives me everything that I need for me in my life. Then I have a choice. I can either put my eyes to look at everybody else and what I think is their blessings and their wows. Do you know what happens when I do that, Moritzuri? I never get to see what I have because I'm so busy looking at everybody else. All my energy is going into her house, her shoes, his trip, his car, what his father's doing, what her mother's doing. I never get to see my mother and my father, my siblings, and my brachos in my life. And that's so sad because every Brach is different. When it comes to looking at other people or being jealous, I put it like this. Think of all the beautiful animals and creations that Hashem made. So imagine if the bird would look at the lion and say, It's not fair, Hashem. You made the lion roar and be king of the jungle, so big, and all the animals are afraid of the lion. Look at the lion with that hair and that mane. Could you imagine if a bird would only be looking at the lion all day and never learn that she can fly? The lion can't fly. But she'd be so busy being jealous of the lion that she would never understand, wow, I can soar. Hashem made us each with different gifts, and every family has something beautiful about them. So you have to look at the love that you have in the family or the friendship or your siblings, your parents. What rahas do I have in my life? Everybody has something hard. Everybody has a challenge. Where am I going to put my eye? If all I do is look at other people, I'm never going to be a happy person. And I have to ask, do I want to grow up like this? Or do I want to be happy? And happiness and joy comes with a decision that I make. Bismcha to be with happiness is the same as the letters of the word if I mix it around. Mahshava, my mind. Because I have to know in my mind how to be happy. Nobody will make me happy. I make myself happy. And I will never be happy comparing my life with other people.

Speaker 11:

Amazing.

Speaker:

I'd rather be the bird for the record.

Speaker 10:

You can lie.

Speaker:

We could all lose something or someone, but how sad, right? How sad to just be looking at everything and everyone else and not knowing who we are. Yeah. It's like if you would go on a trip and then you know all the luggages go around and around the carousel and you see this gorgeous designer luggage and you say, Oh, that luggage looks really, really good. And imagine not us, of course, but if somebody would take someone else's luggage because it looks so good, but you get home and nothing fits. It's all the wrong size. What are you doing with that? Other people's lives fit them. It doesn't fit me. I have to figure out what fits me and my life. What makes my family special? Every family has something that makes you special.

Speaker 11:

This is the idea of like becoming more thankful and noticing it and turning it into a thank you moment. Sometimes you have to really think. Stop and think about it. Because if you don't, it's so hard to not do that. To be like, oh my gosh, look what this girl in my class has, look what that family does. It's hard for me. It's hard for anybody that we're all human. Like this. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker:

We're for it's hard for adults. But if you're able to work on that now and create that mindset and use those eyes, think what a much happier adult you're going to be and healthier adult.

Speaker 11:

And lucky you kids that you got to work on that now. You got to practice it when you're in those magical years. When you work on something as a child, it's so much more long-lasting. And it really changes your whole brain. Like there's studies about this. I'm jealous. I wish I had that head start.

Speaker:

You have time now to work on this and to become a happier human being. Right. Isn't that amazing? Instead of a jealous human being or an angry or bitter human being or a complainer. Nobody wants to be with complainers. Right.

Speaker 11:

Look at yourself and see what I want to be around myself.

Speaker:

I ask this question to parents all the time. When you wake up in the morning, before you start with your kids and everything, look in the mirror and say one thing. What I want to wake up to this face. My grandfather would say to me, my Zaidi would say, in Yiddish, he would say, Gebashmeichel, give a smile, my kid, my child.

Speaker 2:

Gibbash my chol, gabba, gabash my khul. Gebash my chul, give a smile. Give bash my chul, gabba, gabashmeichu. Be the reason someone smiles.

Speaker:

It's something we can all do. You come through the door at the end of the day. You had a hard day, it's okay. And this is for parents and children. Put a smile on your face. It means I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to see you. This is my happy place. And everyone's home should feel that way. Yes.

Speaker 11:

Everyone's house should feel that way because sometimes school could be really hard, and sometimes camp could be really hard. And sometimes the playground outside could be really hard. Everyone should have that feeling of like when I come home, I know I'm comfortable, I'm happy. That's the goal. Yes. That's the goal.

Speaker:

And parents and children can figure out how to work on that.

Speaker 11:

Yeah, well, anyone who's listening to this is already doing the right thing. I think that that's a really good step. So if you're worried that, oh my gosh, but how am I gonna do that? You're already doing that. You're here. Yeah. We're all looking inward.

Speaker 1:

We're all just I'm talking to myself right now too. Just to smile.

Speaker 11:

I'm talking about myself. Hey, don't go anywhere. We'll be right back after this short break. Hi everyone. You know those moments when your family finishes watching something and nobody talks for like a full second afterwards? Not because they're bored, but because they're like moved. Last karmica, we released the inKredible kids film, Am I a Hero? And what happened next honestly surprised everyone. The messages started pouring in. Parents were telling me my kids couldn't stop talking about it for days. We watched it again the next night. It sparked the deepest family conversations we've ever had. Kids told me it made me feel like I matter. It made me feel like I could actually do something that makes a difference and make a change. And that's exactly what this film is about. It's about discovering that you don't need to be famous or loud or perfect or grown up to be a hero. It's about realizing that the smallest choices can have the biggest impact. And it's about seeing yourself. Really seeing yourself as someone who matters. The Chanukah magic comes alive through three inKredible characters. You're gonna meet Chaim, a kid with a huge passion for saving lives, who wondered how he can be part of Hatsala in some way at his age. Meet Kana, who uses her talent for jewelry to raise money and send support to soldiers. And meet Sanel, a gifted speaker, whose spirituality and heart inspire the elderly and everyone around him. These are not actors, these are real kids. And this is what real heroism looks like. It's been a year since we put out this film, and families are still talking about it a year later. And honestly, that's how you know the impact is real. If you have not yet watched Am I a Hero, I truly believe you cannot let Chanukah go by without it. This is the perfect family night activity. Kids of all ages, parents, siblings, grandparents. It's meaningful, it's inspiring, it's emotional, and yes, it's also entertaining. You can watch it right now at ikfilm.org. That is ikfilm.org because every child deserves to know they already are a hero. It is almost Chanukah. Somehow, Chanukah became very much into gift giving. I know it's like maybe a guy ish concept. At the end of the day, many, many Jewish families do the gifting. I'm not getting into that discussion. I know the idea is really guilt, like the money.

Speaker 3:

Guilt, the children's house, they fill in the farm they get this half forgiving so much guilt.

Speaker 11:

There's two things I know for sure. One of them is that Chanukah is eight days long. You don't have to like go to shoal for a hundred hours. To me, the gift of Chanukah to us as families, as Jewish families, is really having eight nights of. Of real family memories. We have eight nights of them. Even if it sounds like a lot, and it's like, I don't know if I can play dreidel on the floor every single night with my kids. But you have eight opportunities to make something meaningful and connect with your family over Chanukah. And sometimes people have big parties and sometimes they don't. Like I think it was last year. I'm like, do we not have any friends? Like we were not invited to any Chanukah parties. Like, I don't know, some years are just like whatever.

Speaker:

As soon as they hear this, you'll be invited.

Speaker 11:

You know, everyone, please invite us to Chanukah party. I'm kidding. But then I really was thinking, like, but who cares? It's really about inside and internal. We light the menorah inside our homes. And yes, you can see it from outside, but we want our home to be filled with light. I know that Chanukah has that opportunity. That was number one. And number two is that I feel like it is a chance to learn about what we are grateful for with each other, to focus on every single person. And so yes, we give them the gift or the guilt or whatever else we're doing. How can we use this Chanukah well? And I know that you have ideas about what kind of real gifts and what kind of gifts, like I'm gonna say in in little quotation marks. You know, I'm doing those like uh what do you call them? Dunkey ears, ditto's. What kind of gifts can we give our family this chanaka to make it special and memorable and make our family stronger?

Speaker:

Well, think how when we light our Chanukah candles, we say Kede La Hodosula Halo. Kedeilaho. La hodos means to say thank you. Khanika really is about gratitude. How to say thank you. I think it would be a beautiful idea if you're listening right now, if you could either make a card or write something up or create a treat by yourself which shows how you appreciate the people in your family. And for what I know as a mother, you love hearing from a child. Mommy, thank you so much for it could be your yummy suppers for always being there for me when I come home. Thank you, Daddy. Think of one thing, brothers, sisters, grandparents. That's such a gift in itself. Sometimes you don't have to buy, but you create. And when you create something that is from you, it carries so much more. You know, you could go to a store and spend whatever you want on something, you open the box, it's done. But when it comes from your heart, I know that when even my little grandchildren, when they make a picture for me and they worked so hard on writing Bobby and the bees backwards.

Speaker 11:

Bells backwards.

Speaker:

Yeah, it's the and they're working hard on the picture. It goes into my heart. Much more than if somebody would have bought me something, because it's from your heart. You don't always have to buy things. You could make things, you could make treats, you could make something that you know somebody likes if it's a favorite supper, if it's a favorite type of cookie, dessert, or cake. That's beautiful and you can wrap it up so nicely. Another idea is that one night you have gifts that you give to other people. There are children out there who are in hospitals right now. If you would get together in your family and wrap gifts and write hearts for a child who is in a hospital, you would feel so good because you did something beautiful, this Chanukah. So many children in Israel right now who don't have fathers coming home. They lost their fathers in the war. They lost their brothers. There's so much pain, or their fathers are wounded. I can be up all night thinking of all the pain. You're so lucky right now. Think about those other kids who are your age who are going through a lot of pain. There's a lot, a lot that you can do. There are organizations out there. You can send things. Try to think of what I can do, this Chanukah, to think of somebody else who's going through something. You will bring so much more light to your Chanukah. I feel better because that's inKredible. That's being an inKredible kid. Taking a Chanukah where everybody's so busy, like, what did you get? What did you get? What did you get? Now I want to ask you something. What did you give? What did you give? What did you get?

Speaker 11:

I love that. And it's also like when you work on it as a family or if you have siblings together, parents and children, you do it together. It's it builds you as people. Like this is the kind of people we are. We're the type of family who does this. That's our type.

Speaker:

And that gives confidence too, because you're confident that you are from a family that cares, that's strong.

Speaker 11:

I've heard you speak and you talk about how you felt part of your family's mission. Like your mother started Hinini and your father was so involved in the community.

Speaker:

We were all involved in the shul and everything. Ask yourself if you're a parent listening, what can I do with my child? That this is what our family stands for. It's a mission. You can either do things yourself or you can involve your children. Every child listening has clothing at the end of the year that doesn't fit you anymore. Don't just leave it to your mother to go through your closet or let it accumulate. Take their coats, fold them when you're too big for them. There's another child out there who's cold, who really doesn't have the money for a coat. You're giving your coat to that child when it doesn't fit you anymore. You just made a difference in this world. But you do it. Don't have your mother do it. You do it.

Speaker 11:

And do it before it piles up.

unknown:

Yes.

Speaker 11:

And then there's like 17 garbage bags, and then you're like, what do I do with that?

Speaker 4:

Mess grow figure. Every single day, the mess group figure. We couldn't stop it growing in the mess grow bigger.

Speaker:

Make it a project at the end of the year, every year. If there's anything that's in nice condition, you don't want anyone to do that.

Speaker 11:

It's important to know that. Don't give someone something of stains and holes in it. Right.

Speaker:

Something that's in nice condition because you care. You care for another child.

Speaker 11:

I love how you are not afraid to introduce kids to the reality that other people are suffering or in pain. Meaning, some parents are like, well, if I tell my child about someone who's so poor that they're hungry when they go sleep at night, I'm not gonna tell anyone, you know, what to do. But I think that when you do the opposite and when you open up their minds and you explain that to them, like the reason why we're going through your closet and we're folding this nicely and not just shmushing it into a garbage bag is because you have an opportunity to help someone going through X, Y, and Z.

Speaker:

Absolutely. Isn't that the story of Amish? We have to know how we suffered in Mitzraim. We teach it. That's what the whole Seder is about. Ava Dim Hayin, right? We were slaves. What happened to the children in mitzraim? What happened to Amisrol in Mitzraim throughout our whole history? But Khesed keeps us connected and united. So feel for another person, for another child. Everyone has the ability also to Davin. Don't just Daven for yourself. Daven for Amisrah, Daven for Yu Ishalayim, Daven for Eritisrol, Daven for the Jews all over the world. The power of tfila from children is huge because children's tfilos are so much more innocent. I'm happy you brought this up. I want to speak to all the children. Listen, your tfilos count. Never discount your tfilos. You're innocent, you're beautiful. Hashem is waiting for your tfilos. We are all waiting as adults for your tfilos because they count.

Speaker 10:

Yeah.

Speaker 11:

Davening for others and also divening for yourself, which actually I wanted to bring up one point. You talk about anxiety. This is like very much an internal thing. This we get anxious, we get nervous. Lots of kids, lots of adults these days walk around saying, I have anxiety. It became like a normal thing to say out loud, which is fine. But as a Jewish person, as a Jewish child, as a Jewish parent, how do we use that opportunity? I mean, how do we use that challenge to actually help us become stronger instead of sinking in worry and fear? And one of the things you talk about is divening, which I thought was such a beautiful approach to it, if you don't mind sharing that, because I think it could be so helpful to people.

Speaker:

You know, you said opportunity and then you said no, I mean challenge, but no, it really is an opportunity. You're right. Because every challenge is an opportunity. So when you go through something, it could be anxiety, it could be something with friends, it could be struggling in school. It's not just a hard time you're going through. You have an opportunity right here to figure it out and to grow. If you're feeling anxious about something, first recognize what that is. Because every feeling is different. I'm anxious, but am I worried? Am I scared? Am I angry? What am I feeling? Am I bored? So I'm just thinking of all things that will happen in the world that will never happen. First thing I have to know what I'm feeling. Okay. And then I have to recognize that I'm part of this inKredible nation, part of Amistral. And we've made it through all these years, thousands of years, of we come from strong stuff. We come from avos and mahos who have gone through so many challenges. Why do we learn about that? Why do we go to school and learn about all the challenges? Because we want our children to know that it's going to be okay. Amistral goes through challenges and we make it through and we're here. And that's a promise from Hashem. Every child listening, you come from strong roots. You're surrounded by mizuzas in your house. That's not for nothing. There's Shmeera. There's a spiritual security that you have. You can always call Hashem. Hashem's never too busy to hear from you. Hashem's never out to lunch, is always here. Allah always surrounding you. That's why when we go to sleep at night, we say Bishem Hashem, El O K Israel, Mimini Michal. My right side is the Malach Michal, Miss Mulli Gavril. On my left side is the Malach Gavril here with us. There's always an adult who's happy to hear you and to listen to you. So that should help. Whatever it is that you're feeling, you don't have to keep it inside. You can share it without judgment. And there's always somebody who's happy to hear what you have to say. And know that most things that we worry about never happen. That's something to really remember. We make stories of all the terrible things that we worry about. But most things we worry about, believe it or not, they never ever happen. So we write stories that never happen. And what happens if? And this will be, and she's going to say that, and I'm not going to be able to go there. You're writing a story. Don't write bad stories. Write good stories. Write a good story in your life.

Speaker 11:

Wow, that's such a beautiful way to wrap things up. Wrap things up, haha, the Chanukah pun. We got it.

Speaker:

Yeah, I got it. I got it.

Speaker 11:

But yeah, we have we have a big light. We have a big light. The Jewish people are a light. We started off talking about how we carry something special. We carry this flame, we carry this nishama, this torch, this legacy. These are all very big words. But however you want to say it, we are so lucky. And this is the time of year where we reflect a lot about how lucky we are. We're so lucky that we do have those malachem that you just discussed around us at night. Imagine you didn't have Hashem in your life. Imagine you didn't have this real strong belief that I'm okay because I'm in the hands of my father who loves me. I know that my daughter's school, it's so beautiful. They just sent the email to the parents yesterday. By the time this comes out, I'm not spoiling anything because it m it will have already happened. They said, sh don't tell your kids, surprise, that at the assembly this Friday, we want to give over the idea about how we are in the hands of Hashem and he loves us like a parent loves their child. So can you send us pictures of your child as a baby in their mother's arms and we're gonna make a slideshow? Um beautiful. Right? And so it made me think a lot. And when I was going through my kids' photo albums last night to send to the school like a picture of it, I was really thinking, I was like, which expression I wanna find a picture of my babies when so I looked a picture of my Ahuva when she was a baby, and now Nainahara Ahuva's already nine, but I'm looking back and I'm like, I want to find one that she looks so safe and secure, like with no worries in the world. And it was actually funny, like the picture I chose to send was like not the picture I would have thought, but she looked so at peace in this picture. And I, as her mother, was just holding her so tight. And I was looking for that because I was like, I want to feel like I don't know if they're gonna use it in the slideshow, I have no idea. But I was thinking, I was like, which one looks like this child is in the hands of a loving father? Well, I'm the mother, so it's a little confusing.

Speaker:

I want every child to feel that. And Chanukah night, when you're by your menorah, close the lights and take a few minutes and just look at the light of the menorah because that's your story. It's my story, it's the story of Amisral. We are a light, we are strong. Hashem loves us. We have to remember that. And Amisral is forever and ever. And you never have to be afraid.

Speaker 11:

I love that. And our our children, I'm gonna get emotional. I literally cry when I say this, but I don't remember when I learned this, but I learned this, I guess, like a bunch of years ago when I became a mother. And when we say Haniro Shalalu Kodashim, these candles are Kodash, they're holy. We could also look at the faces of our children and think, Haneiro sala lu kodashim, like these beautiful flames that I'm lucky to have in my life are so holy. And it's something I think about by Chanukah and Menorah, but I even think about it at the Shabbos candles sometimes as I light each candle, because I have the minhog that I light for each of my children. I think about each of my holy children, and I say to myself, Haniro Salalu Kodashaim. I hope that's okay, Hashem, that I'm borrowing it from Chanukah every Friday night. It's something that I think about.

Speaker:

They are every child listening is holy. Every Jewish child is holy, and every child is light, yes.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Everyone listening has to know that.

Speaker 11:

We have so many things we can talk about, but I hope that this was a good foundation for everybody and a lot of good talking points with your family.

Speaker:

And to all the children who are listening, Shem should be with you. You should be gebenched. You should have the koach and you should have the wisdom and the energy to just be who you are and light up the world with your inner light, be gebenched.

Speaker 11:

And some people don't, unfortunately, some children, maybe even children who are listening, some children don't have the support of parents the way that they wished. And this is a sad thing to say, but since Mrs. Wolf and I are not afraid to let children know that there are other people in pain. One form of pain that people around you might be going through is parents who are kind of disconnected. Maybe they're a little too busy with other things, or maybe there's something going on in their homes and their lives. But if there's any children listening, and I know that there probably is, just because there's so many of you listening to this. And it pains me to think that. But if that's the case, know how special you are. Don't need even your parents to tell you that. Know how special you are from the inside. Ask yourself, am I special? Yes, fine. The answer is always gonna be yes, by the way. Spoiler alert. Ask yourself, am I special? And then tell yourself why you're special and then practice it, even though it's probably even more challenging for you. But you could be so big no matter what circumstance you're in.

Speaker:

That's beautiful. And it's MS. Hashem loves you. That's why Hashem created you because you're needed in the world. Yes.

Speaker 11:

A freelas and Chanukah, everybody. Thank you, Mrs. Wolf. Thank you for inviting me. This has been amazing and enriching for me, and I know for everyone else as well. Thank you. Wow, that's all I really can say right now. Wow, thank you. Thank you so much for being part of this powerful and this meaningful conversation. But here's what I'm hoping. I'm hoping that what you just heard doesn't end now that this episode is coming to a close. It should continue in your own family, around your table at Chavez, in the car, in the quiet moments when real conversations really could matter the most. Chanukah is all about bringing light into darkness. And sometimes the brightest light comes from open hearts, open conversation, having the courage to say hard things, to work through hard things to help us grow. And if you listen to this with your family, I'd love for you to keep it going either now or at a different time and talk about what stood out, what are you gonna work on, what are you gonna remember, what do you want to find out more about? You might be surprised at what comes up in your own conversations. And before you go, quick reminder: if you haven't yet watched the Incredible Kids film, Am I a Hero? Or you'd like to re-watch at this Chanukah, this is the perfect time to go to ikfilm.org, any night of Chanukah before Chanukah, watch it together as a family. It really drives home this message that every single person can be a hero, big or small. And if you're still looking for something fun as a Chanukah gift for your kids, check out our merch, inKrediblekids.org. It's a beautiful way to support inKredible kids while giving your kids something that they'll love. Thank you so much to Mrs. Wolf for sharing your wisdom, your warmth, your truth. And thank you, everyone, dear listeners, for being part of the Incredible Kids family. I'm wishing you all a beautiful, meaningful, light-filled Chanukah. We should see lots of miracles in our own lives and Claudia Srell's lives all together. And I'll see you on the next episode.
