It's very easy for us to think about how
we need to be the adults in the room
when we are
the 35-year-old parents and our children
are 8, 9, 12, you know, young children.
And we're like, "Okay, the child wants
this or wants that and we don't want to
make them upset. We want to be flexible
for them." It's much more difficult when
we're the adult and we have son-in-laws
or daughter-in-laws who have their
feelings and we see them as adults
already. But the truth is that they're
really still children. They're still
young. We can think back to when we were
in our young 20s. They don't have the
maturity level and the life experience
and the recognition recognition like
Tvia is saying for the importance of
shalom especially at the seder. We need
to look at these young newlywed first
couple years marriage uh married uh
adults as young adults as the children
compared to perhaps the parents and
grandparents who are hosting the seder
or the ones that are hosting the table
at the hotel that will jump into in the
private seder room. We need to recognize
that we're the adults in the room and we
could be mavater. And actually, that's
the greatest lesson we can give to our
children.
>> we we were fortunate to be mavater to
maintain that shalom for our children to
the chuppah.
