Happy Anniversary Udi! Every day I thank Hashem for sending me my soulmate, my best friend, full partner in everything I do, and the most incredible wife, mother and grandmother. May He grant us many, many more years together in good health.

Look around at your family and friends and see if you agree. Post pro and con in comments. Enjoy!

Dear Parents, When children are taught the fundamental skills of Chumash, they can begin to understand what they’re learning on their own—and learning together can become a much more meaningful experience for both parent and child. I created this 36-minute video to teach you…

On a whim, I swung my phone away from the window of the nursery, to capture Udi’s priceless reaction. Remember thinking, “Yankie, the baby is gonna be there in a few seconds, capture the moment. I absolutely love this pic.  Mazel Tov Udi — biz 120, together, in good health.

It’s a Go!! So grateful to be healthy enough to do this after a 2-year break. It’s been 3-4 hours of swimming, walking, PT, mobility and core work… Every. Single. Day.

So wonderful hanging out with my dear friend and colleague Shuly Halpert. We were both on the varsity basketball team of CTV (Camp Torah Vodaas) in 1977 & 78. He’s an incredible person and I’m so proud to have him as a friend.

With hearts brimming with gratitude to Hashem, we wish Mazel Tov to our children Sara and Tzvi Berkovitch on the birth of a baby girl!  Mazel Tov to our mother/in-law Brocha Berger, and to our mechutanim Yankel and Zita.  May we all share simcha together. Yakov and Udi.

…in person or via Zoom — on this subject or other parenting and personal growth topics. Have a look at the short video in the next post for more information about this critical subject and why it’s super important to parenting kids nowadays.

Please have a safety supervision plan for your kids over Succos and give them a refresher talk … even if it’s only family. Sadly a significant percentage of abuse is committed by family members.

The aggrieved person is the only one who has agency over forgiveness. One should never, ever pressure abuse survivors to forgive their abuser.

Sent this to our family chat.  Can’t make this up — my amazing wife Udi was a blur this morning, cooking and baking for the upcoming Yomim Tovim (holidays).  I put down an Amazon Return box on the counter and she started writing “brownies” on it.

That look in his eyes ……. In memory of all those who died on 911 — especially the heroic firefighters and first responders who ran in when everyone was running out. May God bless their memories and comfort their loved ones. (Rabbi) Yakov and Udi Horowitz

Foolproof way to, like, develop a meaningful relationship with your daughter (in my case, grandaughter(s). Notice that I did that with the Starbucks label facing away, so I committed this vital info to memory.
