JEDucation - Conversations in Parenting and Jewish Education

How can we raise children who are more respectful? How can our education system fix the lack of respect in our children? Mrs. D’vorah Miller, an educator, author, and mentor, answers these questions and more, with perspective and tips to help our children be more respectful. As Mrs. Miller explains, “when I request that my child say something respectfully, I am not being mean, I am giving them the opportunity to be better” because “Sometimes were going to say things to them that will be make them uncomfortable and thats ok”.

Mrs. Miller has been teaching children and adults about Judaism, relationships, self-esteem, and spirituality for over thirty years across four continents. She has edited several books, published articles, and posted videos on effective parenting and personal growth based on Torah teachings. Most recently, she published a book called Up to God with Mosaica Press.

D’vorah served as assistant to the Regional Director and Alumni Coordinator for New England NCSY. D’vorah and her husband, Rabbi Shmuel Miller, served as a rabbinical couple of Ohr Somayach synagogue in Cape Town, South Africa, and she was Director of Jewish Studies at Irvine Hebrew Day School in Orange County, California.

At present, D’vorah designs curriculum, teaches, and mentors educators for Ikaron, an Orange County–based Hebrew school, as well in St. Louis at Epstein Hebrew Academy and Torah Prep. She holds a Judaic studies teaching certification from Bnot Chayil College in Jerusalem, Israel; a general teaching certification from New South Wales Board of Education in Sydney, Australia; and a certification in therapeutic counselling from MST College in London, England.
