Keep out the cold
this winter...
A
        s I write this introduction, we are two days away from the general election.
        We are all aware the result is particularly significant this time for our
        community. By the time this brochure arrives on your doorstep, the
election will be history and we will adjust to the new reality.

In Judaism we often live in different time dimensions simultaneously. Throughout
our year there are strong focuses on the past and our tumultuous history. But the
emphasis on yesteryear is always about, enriching the immediate and creating
tomorrow - past becomes present and present becomes future.

At Seed we are constantly aware of this dynamic. After all it is a vital perspective
when parenting, yesterday’s toddler becomes today’s adolescent and tomorrow’s
adult. The time flies by so quickly. So come and maximise the present and engage
with our programmes. There is quite literally an option and opportunity
for everyone.

                      Rabbi Malcolm Herman,
                      Associate National Director Seed UK

Meet some of the team...
Elisheva Fisher
Elisheva was born and raised in Hendon but spent
nearly nine years in Israel. She came back to England
with her family over a year ago having decided that it was
time to start using her talents and investing her skills within
the Anglo community. She loves teaching and learning
and is in her element interacting and socialising with
people. Being a trained and practising Psychotherapist,
and being involved in the Seed educational team makes a
busy but satisfying life for Elisheva.

                      Rabbi Peretz Goldstein
                      Originally from Stanmore, Rabbi Peretz Goldstein spent
                      eleven years swotting away in Israel until receiving his
                      Rabbinic ordination, whereupon he and his family jet-set off
                      to Boston, where they were (very) busy building a community
                      of Jewish young-professionals in an urban setting through a
                      blend of social and educational programmes. Rabbi
                      Goldstein now returns to the UK to spearhead the new
                      Borehamwood project, where he and his wife, Sorele, look
                      forward to pushing back the frontiers of enriched Jewish
                      family life in the town which now houses the largest
                      community in the UK.

Everyday Parenting for teens
A three-part series introducing principles for parenting our teenagers.
Sponsored by the Rosemarie Nathanson Charitable Trust
Part 1. It’s a brave new world.
It is vital to recognise the incredible changes when a child transitions to an
adolescent. This establishes the essential backdrop to any successful parenting at
this stage. In this session we look at those changes and introduce the predominant
principle of the whole course.
Part 2. If only she would listen!
Parenting teenagers requires a brand new tool kit. Even if we have been successful
to date, we need to adapt to the new reality. This requires enormous patience,
perseverance and above all the recognition that at this point in time within the
relationship, there is only one party that can change. (Guess who that is?!) In this
session we look at the ability to “facilitate” the relationship focusing on the skills of
productive communication.
Part 3. But who is in charge?
We all recognise that teenagers need a more flexible approach to say the least.
Does that mean that we hand over the keys? Can we still set boundaries? If so how
can we do so without triggering rebellion? In our final session we look at the
process for boundary setting and for giving appropriate choices.
