In this paper, the author uses a novel approach to address the subject of parenting, a challenge facing so many in our community in this age of technology and independence. Upon scrutinizing the holy text of the Torah, particularly the script of the Passover Hagaddah, for guidance, the author suggests an elucidation of the text (using a systematic approach which results in a precise rendering of the Hagaddah’s directive) and an assertion as to the Torah’s guidelines for parenting. Finally, the author uses scientific theory and statistics to demonstrate the veracity of his assertions.
By using this method, of creating a developmental theory based on the synthetization of our holy Torah and true science, the author demonstrates the depth, breadth, and relevance of even the most prosaic legends of our Torah in our daily lives[1]( to those who are ambivalent as to its bearing).
