One of the most painful challenges for religious Jews is when a child leaves Orthodoxy - in the colloquial phrase, goes off the derech. This event can elicit many different emotional reactions, from anger, to guilt, to sadness, to feelings of rejection, to fears about their other children, to concerns about what the neighbors will say, and much more. Rabbi Menachem Bombach of Beitar Illit in Israel and the director of the Netzach Hareidi Educational Network, has done a tremendous service by publicly discussing his own experience of parenting a child who is no longer part of the Orthodox community. He wrote a blog post in the Times of Israel entitled Thou Shalt Love Your Child Who Leaves Religion and describes forthrightly the challenges and opportunities for parents who face this difficult situation.

When Your Child Leaves Orthodoxy: Talking with Rabbi Menachem Bombach (80)

ABOUT THIS EPISODE Menachem Bombach was raised in an extremely religious neighborhood in Jerusalem, but jokes that he "immigrated" to Israel at the age of 20, which is when he first began speaking Hebrew, in addition to his native Yiddish! A lover of people, and frustrated by a perceived lack of educational opportunities in Israeli ultra-Orthodox society, Bombach became the ultimate reformer from within - working with established and mainstream families to enhance academic learning and disrupt the cycles of poverty often present in many such communities. Along the way, he taught himself Hebrew and English, earned multiple degrees, opened several schools, received education prizes from the Israeli government, helped pioneer a Chareidi division at the famed Mandel Leadership Institute, and gone "viral" for his Yom Hazikaron (Israel Memorial Day) ceremony with Chassidic pupils. Watch that tribute here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsaJXHKF5Cg -------------------------- ABOUT THIS PODCAST Jews You Should Know introduces the broader community to interesting and inspiring Jewish men and women making a difference in our world. Some are already famous, some not yet so. But each is a Jew You Should Know. The host, Rabbi Ari Koretzky, is Executive Director of MEOR Maryland (www.meormd.org), a premier Jewish outreach and educational organization. MEOR operates nationally on twenty campuses and in Manhattan; visit the national website at www.meor.org.
