Sobre Reglas

February 22, 2016 by Yael Leave a Comment

sin-reglas

B”H

Aunque tengo ganas enormes de escribir esto también en ingles, siento que lo tengo que decir en español primero.Como madre y como maestra estoy muy a menudo en el rol de poner y/o implementar reglas. No tengo ningún problema con ello, y no tengo miedo a que mis hijos o mis estudiantes expresen su objeción al respecto – mi objetivo no es que les gusten las reglas o caerles bien a mis hijos o estudiantes. Mi objetivo es crear un ambiente, ya sea en mi salon o en mi hogar, en el cual hayan distancias marcadas entre los que allí estamos para que podamos funcionar y convivir de una manera mas efectiva, segura y productiva. (Y que quede claro que un padre o maestro que logra implementar reglas balanceadas con mucho amor y respeto, ¡si se gana el amor y el respeto de sus hijos y estudiantes!)A medida que mis hijos crecen y estoy mas involucrada en temas de colegio, tanto como padre y mas recientemente como maestra, me he dado cuenta de que el mundo a cambiado dramáticamente en lo que respecta a el respeto por algo tan básico como las reglas. Y no estoy hablando de la resistencia normal que un adolescente pueda tener a ciertas reglas de un colegio, sino a un problema aun mayor – ¡que los padres no respetamos las reglas! Que nosotros los padres estamos inculcando en nuestros hijos el que algunas reglas son tontas o mejor dicho, digamoslo como lo dicen estos padres, “estúpidas”. Algunos padres me han confesado que prefieren no discutir las reglas de conducta y vestimenta que exige el colegio, con sus hijos, por que no quieren tener una batalla con ellos. Y cuando la administración tiene que regañar a sus hijos por alguna violación de la regla se ponen histéricos por que su hijo llega a casa ofendido y enfurecido y ahora tienen que lidear con el niño. Han dicho cosas como, “ay bueno, pero bueno, que no puede hacer usted una excepción!?”Señoras y señores, pero si es así como han creado ustedes un ambiente en el cual una conversación sobre reglas es una batalla – ignorando la conversación, no dandole importancia a la conversación, o mas, aún menospreciando la conversación!Y que conste, que no estoy ni siquiera hablando de reglas de práctica y observancia judía. ¡No! Estoy hablando de reglas tan básicas como el código de vestimenta de una institución! Si los padres no respetamos y exigimos que nuestros hijos también respeten las reglas de el colegio que escogimos para ellos, permitiéndole al colegio que las administre, ¿qué le estamos enseñando a nuestros hijos?Les voy a decir que…. que nuestras propias reglas en casa tampoco son importantes y tampoco se tienen que cumplir. Que la autoridad no es algo que hay que seguir y que en esta vida podemos nosotros mismos ser los jueces de cuando y como hacemos las cosas. Bonita lección de vida. Hoy es el código del colegio y mañana es el no saber que si me tome un trago de mas, ¡tengo que entregar las llaves del auto!Bueno yo no se si seré anticuada, pero que yo recuerde en todos los trabajos corporativos que tuve, siempre hubo un código de conducta y de vestimenta a seguir. Nuestros hijos van a encontrar reglas cuando salgan de nuestros colegios y cuando salgan de nuestros hogares y la vida se les va a hacer mucho, mucho mas dolorosa si no aprendieron a seguir reglas desde su infancia.Yo no estoy diciendo que tenemos que manejar nuestros hogares ni nuestros salones de clase como una dictadura. Al contrario, estoy diciendo que verdadero amor por nuestros hijos y estudiantes es tener la capacidad de ser figuras a seguir y admirar, no tratar de ser sus amigos. Verdadero amor es poder disciplinar y poner limites de forma amorosa y respetuosa, pero hacerlo, por Di-s, así le guste al chico o no. Verdadero amor es proveerle a nuestros hijos y estudiantes  un ambiente de seguridad en el cual se sientan que el mundo no es caótico y descontrolado – en el cual se sientan que hay unos parámetros de conducta a seguir por todos y cada uno de nosotros y que mis padres y mis maestros nunca van a comprometer esos parámetros, asegurándome que yo pueda crecer en un ambiente sano y seguro.Así que la próxima vez que vayan a un lago a darle de comer a los patos la jalá vieja y haya un signo que diga “No alimentar a los patos,” por favor, padres, así sea la regla mas “estúpida” del mundo, consideren que al no seguirla, están comunicándole a sus hijos que las reglas son algo relativo y que se puede romper a mi gusto, cuando yo quiera y como yo quiera. La próxima vez que su maestra mande a su hija a la oficina (con discreción, respeto y sin abochornarla frente a sus compañeras de clase) por que su uniforme esta fuera del código de vestimenta (ya sea la falda esta muy corta, o la camisa es del color equivocado), no protesten. Permitan que la escuela le exija al niño que se cambie el uniforme antes de regresar al salon de clases.Y si, esperemos que como todos respetamos las reglas, la próxima vez que Di-s libre haya que implementar una regla de aun mayor magnitud e impacto como que un estudiante toque a otro de manera inapropiada o le hable de manera inapropiada, tanto nuestros estudiantes como maestros se sientan cómodos y capaces de implementar y/o exigir la implementación de las reglas.P.D.
Por si acaso, esto aplica a todo el mundo, incluyendo a los padres que esperan que sus hijos en un futuro cumplan las reglas de tefilin, kashrut, velas de Shabbat….Pensemos bien, por favor. No le exijan esto a sus hijos, si ni siquiera les exigieron que siguieran todo tipo de otras reglas de conducta y comportamiento!
Opiniones por favor…. ¿Me pasé de anticuada o alguien esta conmigo?

    What an honor to be interviewed by Yael. In my eyes, Yael's show is a place to glorify Judaism and the Jewish way of life, and I am humbled to have been invited to share my passion.

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.

    Yael is a gifted and intuitive writer. So impressed was our staff, that the Jewish Herald-Voice offered her a monthly column, "Defining Jewish Women." We have received only positive feedback and our readers look forward to the third Thursday of every month. In between, I personally follow her blog and gain much insight into myself through her words and emotions.

  • Gila SimchaGila Simcha

    What a treat to hear Yael speak at the Jewish Women's Retreat in San Antonio. Her presentation, "Mi Casa es Su Casa, The Kabbalah of the Home" inspired me to express my Judaism in a way that speaks to my creative side and love of all things chic without compromising my true self and style. I'm so glad I got the chance to hear her message of creativity and Torah. Bravo!

  • Sandy FrydbergSandy Frydberg

    I enjoyed your presentation very much. Your way of presenting material is your strongest asset. You are organized, friendly and approachable, and you speak beautifully, including when you incorporated Jewish teachings in Hebrew. I would be happy to learn from you as you make it fun and interesting.

  • Shoshana BonnShoshana Bonn

    I am writing to share how much I enjoyed your presentation on the kabbalah of home at the 55th N'shei Chabad convention in San Antonio, Texas. Your vivacious speaking style, the clarity with which you made your points, and your warmth toward your audience made this one of the best breakout sessions I attended. You offered both depth of Jewish knowledge and perspective on how this applied to people's individual situations. I look forward to my next opportunity to hear you speak.

  • Clara GrossClara Gross

    Yael y JLP son muy especiales para mi. Fue gracias a JLP que me di la oportunidad de intentar nuevamente preparar Challah para mi familia - desde que JLP publico la Challah que nunca falla en nuestra mesa hay hermosas y deliciosas Challah todos los Shabbat y en las festividades. Soy una foodie así que no me pierdo las recetas que publica y hasta ahora han sido un éxito total, sin contar que me inspira la bellísima presentación de los platos y como presentar una hermosa,  sencilla y a la vez elegante mesa para nuestra familia e invitados.

    In preparation for my wedding, I had the opportunity to learn with Yael. Creativity aside, she is a wealth of knowledge, both passionate and practical, about what she teaches and how she teaches it. I'm also proud to say that through our experience together she has become a great friend and is someone that I can I always talk to.

  • Melinda SilberMelinda Silber
    Yael can be defined as “refreshing inspiration.” She is well-versed in an array of topics from Jewish femininity to design details. Every time I hear her at a speaking engagement or in passing conversation, she always brings an awareness of Jewish femininity to the forefront, constantly reminding women of their spiritual role and importance in ‘everyday’ things. I was thrilled that she passed this concept on, along with her deep knowledge of Judaism, to my daughter during their Bat Mitzvah lessons together. Yael always rises to the occasion (no pun intended) with her eye for design and attention to details. Her subtle palette, creativity and organizational skills are her recipe to success!
  • Vanesa KreindelVanesa Kreindel

    Estoy inmensamente feliz de haber conocido a Yael. En ella no solo encontré una persona con inmenso talento, sino que también encontré una gran amiga que abre su corazón y te contagia su alegría, creatividad y armonía. Me fascina leer su blog - en el siempre encuentro algún nuevo “tip” y también disfruto muchísimo de las clases de mujeres que nos da mensualmente.

  • Anat ChenAnat Chen

    My daughter Stav had her Bat Mitzvah a few months ago.  I wanted Stav to go into her 'Bat Mitzvah' understanding the meaning of the term, and with the knowledge of how to apply it to her life. Even though she learns in a Jewish Orthodox school, I felt that she needed extra learning and inspiration for her coming of age.  Luckily, I knew Yael from before, and heard that she teaches Bat Mitzvah classes.  I had a feeling that this would be a good match... I wasn't wrong :)

    Yael teaches ancient ideas in a modern way.  Stav came back from classes inspired, thinking and asking herself questions.  I'm thankful that my daughter had the opportunity to learn with Yael for her Bat Mitzvah in a interesting, welcoming and inspiring way.

  • Kayla WarrenKayla Warren

    Yael has creativity, vision, and energy, and she uses them all to the fullest for her clients. She came up with the color scheme, all the accessories, the overall “look” of the day, and I just happily and gratefully followed along. But I don’t want you to think it’s only what Yael wants, Yael does. She asked me for input every step of the way. She always checked in with me about what she was buying, what she thought we should have at the party, and she was always conscious of budget. I wanted everything she suggested, but I know that if there had been anything I wasn’t keen to have, she would have changed it until she found something that I loved. She wanted my daughter and me to be happy with everything. We weren’t happy – that’s too meager a word – we were elated!!! Working with Yael was such a pleasant and joyful experience. And those are two words I don’t use lightly when it comes to describing planning an event.

  • Elisheva GolaniElisheva Golani

    Yael helped me style my son's upshernish as well as my living room. She is wonderful to work with! She is talented and extremely organized which is super helpful! She has an incredible eye and knows how to beautify absolutely anything!
