What moms have to say about the Parenting Course...


"Thank G-d, raising children is... challenging! At one point, when my kids started constantly bickering and fighting with each other, and when their kvetching and complaints seemed like a daily thing to deal with, I realized I could use some guidance. When I heard that Elana was giving a Parenting Course, I knew my help had arrived! Elana is someone who is so real, relatable, understanding, loving, accessible, accepting - she is a true role model and mentor. As I delved into her classes, I realized the above was all true. She fills each class with her own real examples that everyone can relate to, she understands our struggles, she loves us through the process, she is available for questions, and is accepting of everyone where they are holding. Joining a community of other women who shared my struggles also helped me feel "normal" and like I was not alone. I highly recommend Elana and all that she teaches!" 
- Sharon N. RBSG


"I gained so much from these amazing Shiurim.
The beautiful ideas and insights, which are so important and practical for parents to little children-gave my conduct with my children a real positive transfer. The tools I got helped me be a better mom- being more firm yet expressing more love, which made my relationship with the kids more relaxed, loving and enjoyable." -Tehilla S. Jerusalem

I've been to many parenting courses and classes and honestly, Elana Mizrahi spoke to me louder than her words.  She is thorough, practical, and really understands a mother and what she goes through at every stage and age. The most important part, is that she focuses on the mothers self-love in order to be able to be the best parent she can be. She connects everything she talks about to davening and our relationship with Hashem and has so much incredible insight. She brings a sense of calm that really impacts and makes us all believe truly that we are capable. I constantly seek more of her wisdom and whenever I need help or advice, she's always there for me. Truly an incredible, uplifting, and spiritual journey. -Galit A. Jerusalem 

I learned so much from Elana's classes. The hashkafa I learned relieved so much of the pressure I felt and allowed me to focus on the important things as well as enjoy being a parent.- Shoshana V. Jerusalem

I loved how Elana taught these classes and gave over the guidance. She makes the classes very relatable and is really supportive and available. Would highly recommend her course- Lauren K. Jerusalem

Elana is a wonderful teacher, someone who doesn't just teach, but lives what she teaches. Her classes are enjoyable, insightful and help you grow as a mommy! -Yocheved Jerusalem

I have one child this morning who didn't want to get up. He didn't want to go school. It's too hard for him he moaned, "Mommy, I can't. I can't stay a whole day." He started to cry.

Yesterday was, after six months, the first of a real whole day back at school. Not a part day, not a half day, a whole day.  I felt like dancing up and down for joy that at last he's back and here he's crying that he can't go.

I felt helpless. And I am, because I can't control him nor control how he feels. And really, I am not surprised that this child reacted this way. 

It's actually quite normal.

So what did I do? What could I do?

I wanted to cry. I didn't. I wanted to yell.
I didn't.

What did I do?

I empathized. "I know it's hard bubbaleh. It's a long day. You are right, it's not easy. But you can do it."

He cried, "I can't!"

"You can. I know you can. I believe in you."  I squeezed his shoulder and caressed his face and then I walked out of the room. 

It took every single ounce of will power that I had to just walk out and let him decide what to do. Extreme will power to let go and keep going getting myself and everyone else out the door. Extreme will power to believe that he would get himself up and dressed and out the door.

We waited for the bus to come and then I saw him coming up the stairs.

Now what? 

I showered him with praise and encouragement. I gave him a blessing and I asked him, "Is there something that I can do for you when you come home that will make this easier?"  

I'm all for making this easier. Why? Because I am telling you, if you want your challlah dough to rise and grow you need to put the yeast near the honey/sugar and not the salt. 

I know that this is hard for you. It's a test and it's difficult.But you can do it. I believe in you.

Add some honey to the equation and bs'D (with Heavenly Assistance) it will get better. 

You'll make it through. You'll do great. You'll grow.
