“I still don’t daven every day, and I’m still waiting for yeshuos, but I’m learning that sometimes what Hashem asks from us isn’t as hard as we think”
I read with interest your article about family members who work together, and I want to touch on one important point that was missed. It can be extremely difficult for unrelated people to work for family businesses. I work for a small accounting business run by a father and son. The son joined the business a few years ago, and since then the environment has become toxic.
There has been a lot of staff turnover because of the toxic environment, but the father is oblivious because he has blinders on when it comes to his son.
I know a lot of people who have this issue as well. How are you supposed to tell a parent that their child isn’t doing a good job or is creating a toxic environment? I’d love to see a follow-up article about the perspectives (good and bad) of people who work for family businesses.

I was saddened to read that so many women were fat-shamed by the people who are supposed to love them the most. Everyone knows about lashon hara, but I meet few people who know the meaning of ona’as devarim, which is the act of hurting people with words or gestures of criticism, contempt, or callous disrespect (Vayikra 25:17).
