Hadassa and I met over Chanukah when she was in London promoting her new book - a book which has made a huge impression on both me and my daughter. Hadassah started this book project in the wake of October 7th to help parents talk about the trauma of that terrible day, and to cope with the trauma that developed in its wake. Hadassah has emerged as a genuine role model in that sense, and I'm very excited to talk with her more about the book and its impact, as well as about her life, her world, and particularly about parenting. She’s a mother of seven which, as a mother of four, sounds impressive!
We talk mother to mother about parenting in the digital age, setting digital boundaries, self
regulation, the power of stories, and resilience. We also focus on taking social responsibility
and connecting with your inner hero, and discover the surprising truth about when she
learned English!
The Heroes of October 7th may be purchased in the UK here, and in the US here.
