As Yom Kippur approaches, everything we need in the coming year � health, wealth, happiness � is constantly on our minds. Of course, at the top of any parent�s list is the upbringing of their children.

This Elul, Acheinu presents �An Evening of Chizuk and Chinuch,� featuring a fascinating video presentation of answers and hadracha from HaGaon HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman, shlita, on the difficult questions of raising and educating our children in today�s environment. Among the many fascinating topics that HaRav Shteinman covers is, �When a child behaves in a negative way, how should a parent deal with it in the most constructive way?� Another question that is dealt with is, �How can parents and mechanchim instill a �geshmak� for learning in our children and students?�

The video will be accompanied by parenting lectures from acclaimed speakers at two locations.� On Tuesday, September 14th, Rabbi Fishel Schachter, Maggid shiur, Yeshiva Torah Vodaas, will deliver a special presentation on parenting. The program, entitled �Parent & Child: A Match Made in Heaven� will feature ideas, techniques and inspiration for parents to help children achieve their full potential.� The event begins 8:20 pm (doors open 7:45 pm) in Flatbush at the Agudah of Ave. L, Bais Binyamin (corner of Avenue L and Nostrand Avenue). Mr. Henri Beer is chairman of the event.

The following evening, a second event will be taking place in the Five Towns/Far Rockaway with world renowned lecturer Rabbi Jonathan Rietti.� On Wednesday, September 15th, Rabbi Rietti will speak on the topic of �Raising Our Children to be Ehrlicher Yidden.� The event will take place in Congregation Shaaray Tefila located at 25 Central Avenue, Lawrence, 8:20 pm. R� Dov Lebovic is chairman of the Five Towns event.

This event is being sponsored leiluy nishnas Chaya Sara bas R� Ahron by an anonymous donor on behalf of Acheinu.� Acheinu, the Kiruv movement to develop B�nei Torah, was founded 16 years ago to return unaffiliated Israeli children to Torah.� With great Siyata D�shmaya, Acheinu�s trained staff has a 93% success rate of ensuring that these children remain Shomrei Torah U�mitzvos.
