Why do some devoted parents see their children choose a different path? This insightful Torah discussion explores the delicate balance between parenting, personal responsibility, and free will. Drawing from the stories of King Menashe, great Torah leaders, and timeless Jewish wisdom, Rabbi Mollot explains why a child's choices are not always a reflection of their parents — and why the true role of a parent is not control, but guidance, love, and example. A reassuring message for every parent striving to do their best.
