Frum Family

Running a frum household while raising healthy children according to our mesora has never been a simple task.

FrumFamily consists of articles written for the Parent-to-Parent column in the Jewish Local Pages in Passaic over the past decade.  They cover a range of topics relevant to parents of younger and older children.  We interviewed Rebbeim, Morahs, Rabbanim, teachers, social workers, therapists, and many parents in order to collect different perspectives on each topic.

We welcome comments and feedback from readers to enrich the content of these posts.
