LIVINGSTON, NJ – Celebrated speaker Rabbi Laibl Wolf will share parenting insights next week for parents from throughout the area of Essex County and beyond. While the talk will take place a LifeTown, a simulated village for people with special needs, it's open to all parents.

The talk is free and will take place Thursday, Jan. 26, at 7:30 pm at LifeTown, 10 Microlab Road in Livingston.

The talk is hosted by Friendship Circle of New Jersey, which provides support for children and teens with special needs and their families, as well as meaningful volunteer opportunities for teens.

At the talk, you can "Learn why conscious, calm parenting leads to happier children and how to practice it, adding new skills to parenting toolkits," the organizers say.

“Raising children in today’s rapidly changing world is confusing and contemporary parents face so many hurdles. This lecture will provide insight to enhance the parent-child relationship and enable children to grow and thrive,” said Rabbi Yisroel Rosenblum, UMatter director at LifeTown.

Wolf holds a master's degree in educational psychology. He's a worldwide spirituality teacher, author of Practical Kabbalah, and founder of a personal growth center in Australia.

Organizers say he's "renowned for his unique ability to plumb the wisdom of Kabbalah, or Jewish mysticism, and bring it to bear on contemporary issues ... He takes a deeply Jewish approach to mindfulness and emotional intelligence, and his insight, grounded in both mystical tradition and academic discipline, can change lives."
