Surprise plot twist... and its Rosh Hashana connection (Yael)
posted Fri September 3rd 2010 @ 1:29 AM

I was out of town for a few days, settling my oldest daughter in at the dorm of her new high school in another state. (For long-time NJP readers: yes, the toddler from the cover of issue #1 is now in eleventh grade!)

When I arrived home late Tuesday night, the light on my answering machine was blinking. I pressed play. Read More »

Sometimes we don't see it until we are past it... (Yael)
posted Fri August 27th 2010 @ 2:33 AM

Some of you may have read the thread I started in the discussion forum about my baby's situation with her eating and growth (or rather, the lack of both). I got some wonderful advice and encouragement from other NJP members, and somehow, a few weeks later, I find myself over this particular parenting hump—with a baby who now eats pretty much everything! This is amazing, considering that just a few weeks ago she could not swallow the tiniest speck of food. And I feel confident that simply eating (in addition to nursing) will lead to her growing and developing the way she should.

Now that I'm looking back at this experience, I can see it from a clearer perspective and see what happened as it unfolded. Read More »

This is even more mindblowing! (Yael)
posted Mon August 9th 2010 @ 1:52 PM

Thinking over my previous post about War and Peace and the evolution of our universe, I realized that it wasn’t quite mind-blowing enough. I mean, War and Peace has about 560,000 words—2,800,000 letters. It’s probably the longest novel in history. Maybe it does seem logical to many people, even at first glance, that 10 billion years would not be enough time to randomly generate such a long work of literature. Read More »

Deep thoughts while nursing my baby (Yael)
posted Mon August 2nd 2010 @ 2:51 AM

I recently did a little math experiment. (This is one way I stay awake during those endless nursing marathons. Bear with me, even if you're not a math type, and of course, especially if you are. I will try to be very clear.) Read More »

Make your own natural bug repellent (Yael)
posted Wed July 21st 2010 @ 3:10 AM

Why put toxic chemicals on your skin (and even more importantly, your children's skin) to keep insects away? Many essential oils are very effective repellents, they're all-natural, and when used with care, they are safe. Read More »

Choose the least-toxic sunscreen (Yael)

This summer, when you choose a sun protection product, go beyond the buzzwords on the labels and make your choice based on objective safety research. Read More »

Still learning after all these years (Yael)
posted Wed July 14th 2010 @ 1:32 AM

Just when you think you’ve got the hang of this bringing-up-baby thing, you realize you don’t. Or at least, that's what happened to me. Read More »

My Extraordinary Great-Aunt Ibi (Yael)
posted Tue June 29th 2010 @ 12:00 AM

My great-aunt Ibi passed away two weeks ago. She was 96 years old. And she was amazing—absolutely amazing, and surprising, and inspiring. So I want to share with you some things about this woman who was, in so many ways, unique. Read More »

How we can make this a real community (Yael)
posted Mon May 17th 2010 @ 3:45 AM

When I started Natural Jewish Parenting magazine years ago, I was trying to fill a need in the Jewish world. Parents needed a place to explore their (sometimes "alternative") ideas about child-raising and family health in a Jewish context, and also to network with other parents who might share some of those ideas and challenge them with different ones.

The "Dietary Guidelines for Americans," which are updated by federal agencies every five years, are currently in the process of being revised for 2010. Read More »
