Free 12-Week Interactive Workshop for Parents

Project Extreme, an organization serving teens-at-risk and their families, has recruited one of the Jewish world’s most respected experts in family and individual counseling, Rabbi Shais Taub, to lead an interactive workshop for parents. The twelve-week teleconference entitled “Spiritual Tools for Effective Parenting,” is a chance for parents to hear expert advise from a world-renowned scholar, all from the comfort of their own home.

Project Extreme’s Executive Director, Rabbi A.Y. Weinberg, described the new project as “a 30-minute investment that every parent will benefit from.” Said Weinberg, “We are thrilled to have an expert like Rabbi Taub with us. Every parent will do well to take the time to join these calls, especially the live coaching available every other week.”

The course format is to have 30-minute sessions that alternate each week between new material and review. On one week, Rabbi Taub will present a new theme and on the week that follows there will be live Q&A related to the previous week’s lesson. Click here for a video of Rabbi Taub reviewing the subject of weeks #1 and 2 entitled “Love and Respect.”

This Sunday, May 12 at 11:00AM, Rabbi Taub will present his next topic, “HaShem Has No Grandchildren.”
