★ Epilogue Three Keys Given by Children

A typical 'Asian mother' who is unconditionally devoted to her children
After moving to Israel and being reborn as a ‘Jewish mother’
A vivid story of raising three children into world-class tycoons.

“Worry about only knowing how to love and not how to teach.”
Should I raise my child to be good at studying, or should I raise him to be a proactive person in life?

Every parent pours money, time, and even their entire life into their children.
Yet, there are countless children who become adults and either idle away in idleness or, in extreme cases, rely on their elderly parents.
Not only is the child unable to achieve the success that his parents dreamed of since birth, he is unable to stand properly in the world as an independent human being.
That is how you grow up to be a smart-aleck, a fool who only thinks about himself.
Parents love their children with all their hearts and without reservation, so why on earth is that?
The author of this book, Sara Imas, says that all of this stems from the attitude of parents who only know how to love their children but do not know how to teach them.
"The Power of a Jewish Mother Who Raised Her Children While Hiding Half of Her Love" (written by Sarah Imas, published by Yedam Friend) is the result of the author, who is Jewish and also Asian and was born and raised in China, personally raising three children while accepting and practicing Jewish education from a different perspective than before.

In the book, she points out the educational mistakes and misunderstandings that Asian parents like herself make as if they were natural, and presents Jewish educational methods as solutions and alternatives.
The author's honest account of his day-to-day experience of overcoming countless mistakes and trials to wisely raise his children is a profound insight and moving experience, extending beyond the Jewish educational method.


“A child cannot be raised well with love alone!”
The Secret of Jewish Education: Turning Even Failure and Frustration into Opportunities

The author of this book, Sarah Imas, was born in Shanghai, China, to a Jewish immigrant family and was an ordinary mother of two sons and one daughter.
After divorcing her husband and raising three children alone, her life changed dramatically when Israel, her home country, appealed to Jews living abroad to "come home."
She boldly decided to leave behind her comfortable life in Shanghai and immigrate with her children to Israel, where the sounds of war were ringing.
I wanted to raise my children to be excellent, as if they were living in a place that was a center of Jewish education, producing world-class talents such as renowned scholars and CEOs of strong companies.
But life in Israel was not easy.
They had to fight a war because they couldn't communicate well, they were poor economically, and their children were immature.
It was a difficult situation for anyone to see, but the more it became difficult, the more Sarah's dream of helping her children succeed grew.
As a mother, she took care of all the housework and made a living by selling spring rolls.
She was such a passionate mother that she took time out of work to deliver lunch boxes to school.
She thought she was doing pretty well as a mother, but her Jewish neighbors thought differently.
They threw out barbed remarks like, “Don’t spread wrong home education in Israel,” and “You can love your children as much as you want, but parents can’t raise them in their place.”
Although it was painful, Sarah began to reflect on herself and her surroundings from then on.
It was a moment of transformation from a typical 'Asian mother' to a 'Jewish mother.'
Instead of doing everything for the children, I decided to trust them.
Instead of assuming that the kids couldn't do it, I decided to watch them do it.
Thanks to this, Sarah's children grew up to be world-class tycoons in both body and mind.
In particular, the two sons, who were successful in business, became millionaires at an early age and gave their mother a mansion and a car.
In today's world of kangaroos and helicopter parents, Sarah is busier than ever.
Because I want to tell all the parents in the world my story of raising a child while hiding half of my love.
Even now, she is working to spread awareness about what true love is for children and how to help them live happy lives.

“Jewish Education: Can We Really Practice It?”
A book for Korean parents seeking a clear path amidst the flood of Jewish education laws.

Since some time ago, interest in Jewish education has been growing day by day in our country.
I am envious of the Jews who have traveled the world and held important positions despite their small population, and at the same time, I am curious about what motivated them to do so.
Since then, numerous books have been published on Jewish education, but most of them only convey theory, and it is difficult to find practical applications.
In that respect, this book has a deeper meaning.
This is because it honestly and frankly portrays the story of an Asian mother's Jewish education.
The author's journey of breaking free from the stereotypical Asian mother and raising three children through Jewish education will resonate deeply with Korean readers, who are like second and third Sarahs.


If you love her, raise her like a Jewish mother!

1 Housework is the best study for children.

Instead of just praising your children, let them experience frustration on purpose to build their willpower.
