its been a difficult and lonely road. we have disowned by my family which has more difficult than words can say. hearing that we are in a cult and ruining our kids is hard to hear.
adorable
It is hard to keep telling them that most people we know don’t see and believe things like we do. Not to share in all the family events like we used too.
How fun! It has been difficult in the sense that there is NO support from our bio/blood families. 🙁
Cute!
Because we are so new to learning our Hebrew Roots ourselves, we are trying to teach them while learning at the same time.
Finding material that does not need to be edited is the most difficult. I purchased one set of curriculum that I had to send back because it had Catholic catechism (sp?) in it…oh my!
I have twin boys, they are twelve, Lashon Hara is their favorite mode of attack against each other. This would be great!
YIKES!
Some it is hard for them to grasp; especially when I am still learning so much myself. I try to simplify it, but sometimes that is more difficult than it would seem. Having more children based Torah teachings would make it much easier for them to learn and visualize.
difficult in that most materials out there are not from the Torah perspective
The hardest part is dealing with our family who doesn’t agree with us, but it makes us Stronger
I love this stuff! I can’t wait for my grandchildren to see these!
Finding resources and the fact that no one else in our extended families believe this way.
It really hasn’t been an issue for us because they don’t know any different. They have all grown up in this faith.
I think for us, the hardest thing in teaching Hebrew Roots are the daily distractions. We war against the powers of darkness. Praise Yah, He sees us through.
It’s hard to explain to them why everyone doesn’t “get” Torah, especially family and close friends.
This looks adorable! It’s a difficult road for us because we’re the only folks in our area (that we know of) who are even remotely interested in pursuing this.
Awesome
Definitely finding suitable material and having to weed through SO MUCH!
We are just beginning to homeschool, and have only been observing the Torah walk for a few years ( 3 – 6 ) one of the biggest difficulties for us is not having many children — and it is really difficult to explain to a 5 year old that we are keeping the feasts that Yah has instructed us to keep. ( as well as the food, etc And not taking part in all the pagan activities that we observed when our children were growing up) without sounding judge mental of others….( who I am sure think we are crazy and bad for not participating)
However, I believe that our grandchildren may possibly accept much better than we adjust our faulty thinking
There are just so few others in this area for the children to learn and grow with…
I also think that we will be learning with the children! Thank you for sharing!
The hardest part for me, aside from trying to be consistent in taking the time to teach them, is to try to help them cope with being so different from most of our family and friends. It’s a difficult lesson for us all, but one I think will serve us well in the future.
The Hebrew roots has been a blessing to our family. The only difficult thing I would say is the lack of available helps for school training.
for homeschool & training
With a regular Christian curriculum it is hard to know how to alter it to be Hebrew roots-based. I want to make the switch now somehow while they are still young!
Everything is Christian-based, and it’s so time-consuming & draining trying to ‘edit’ it.
thankfully my child is very young, so he’s able to learn properly from the beginning. I’ve had to deprogram my thought process, but being able to teach my child the entire truth is a blessing!
I find that the biggest obstacle we face in teaching our kids from a Hebrew Roots perspective is the fact that we carry around so much baggage from our previous non-Hebrew Roots perspective. We have so much to work on ourselves that it requires enormous effort on our part to teach our children that there are things that we have been wrong about (and as we mature, we find some things we thought we had corrected are still in error!) but our efforts will nonetheless be rewarded!
It’s to teach a truly Torah Observant lifestyle when you are surrounded my non-observant believers and your children ask, “But they don’t do ____________, why do we have too ?”
Im new to homeschooling and I suppose there are lots of pros and cons to it but for me the only reason I can think of teaching my son from the Hebrew roots perspective can be difficult is that I don’t many mothers in my area that have the same faith as I, therefore although I can find many wonderful families who HS, none understand why I eat Kosher, why I keep Shabbat (they do activities on Saturday, while we do them on Sunday) I know even Jews who don’t even understand why I use the Torah as a base for HS. “Just send them to a Jewish Hebrew day school twice a week”, they say!
You don’t fit in the Christian homeschool world and neither in the Jewish world.
Priase Yah for B’nei Torah Ministries!
