Motherhood often comes with a deep desire to protect and hold everything together, but what happens when our children need us to step back?
In this first part of a special Rise and Shine episode, Adrienne Gold-Davis introduces the parenting practice of “watch, wait, wonder”. Together with Momentum Educators, Ruchi Koval and Jael Toledo explore radical acceptance, parenting anxiety, the instinct to save, solve, fix, and the difference between real safety concerns and fear-driven control.
With warmth, honesty, and practical insight, this conversation invites Jewish mothers to consider how letting go can create more connection, resilience, and trust within the family.
Warren Goldstein, Chief Rabbi of South Africa, joins Adrienne to discuss the unifying Jewish act of Shabbat, and how each of us can find beauty and deeper meaning in stillness.
