Parents may say they love all of their children the same, and most people would agree they should; but it isn't uncommon for families to have issues with favoritism, creating hurtful comparisons between children in the home and/or with children outside the home. This can negatively impact children's sense of worth and confidence: by leading them to undervalue themselves, if they are negatively compared to someone else; or by leading children to overvalue themselves when they are praised above others. Neither of these scenarios is good. Not all children are the same, and that may tempt parents to show more affection to the child that is most like themselves; but they should be careful not to. The Torah speaks of a case like this.

Jeff Persitz has always been a type-A let’s go for it kind of person. From the time of his bar mitzvah being busy was a daily prerequisite. This fast paced lifestyle kept him from taking the time to truly experience the emotional part of life. It blinded him from seeing a great deal of what was taking place around him and to the reality of the downward spiral that his life would take.
