Yes, I think you are right with your assessment of the situation after the sixties and the failure of society to teach good values to the young.

Good in the world has to be instilled in children, it does not arrive by itself - just as a gardener always provides for his plants, weeding, fertilizing, watering, knowing well that his garden won‘t provide him with vegetables and fruit if he neglects it.

Or rather, it will bear rotten fruit, metaphorically speaking…the consequences of which we are seeing now 😞

On a more positive note: Have a wonderful and blessed Hanukkah, Sir. May there be the peace of HaShem with you and your loved ones🕎

My hope for you is that your elder children, and their spouses, will ultimately decide in favor of having kids, too.

I would wish this blessing upon them - and upon you 😀

How wonderful to read that 😀👍🏻 You really have been blessed!

I have a question: is it okay if I am joyful for you because of your having been blessed so much?🙂

Have a wonderful, blessed Christmas, all of you! 🎄✝️
