Why Grandparents Matter Most in Hard Times | Behar Bechukotai

In this episode of the Grand Plan Podcast: Connecting Jewish Grandparents, Rabbanit Sharona Hassan explores a powerful question:  What happens when life doesn’t go according to plan? Drawing on Parshat Bechukotai, this episode dives into the Torah’s framework for disconnection, misalignment, and the path back to clarity and connection. Sharona unpacks: Why the Torah emphasizes awareness before correction The deeper meaning of “Briti Yaakov, Briti Yitzchak, Briti Avraham” Why relationships begin with what’s closest to us The surprising role of the Matriarchs (Sarah, Rivka, Rachel) in shaping legacy The hidden message in Yaakov’s name and its connection to redemption How Elijah the Prophet (Eliyahu Hanavi) represents hope across generations Why grandparents are essential anchors of Jewish continuity This episode is a powerful reflection on identity, legacy, and the emotional inheritance we pass down, especially in times of uncertainty. If you're a grandparent, parent, or someone thinking about your legacy, this conversation will shift how you see your role in the Jewish story.
