  • Tetzave not just a link in legacy
    Feb 21 2026

    What if Jewish legacy isn’t a chain… but a braid?

    In this episode on Parashat Tetzaveh, we explore the Torah’s surprising model for intergenerational connection through the sharsherot zahav, the golden “chains” that hold the Choshen on the heart of the Kohen Gadol, the High Preist. Unlike a standard chain of separate links, these were braided, interwoven strands, offering a powerful new vision for Jewish continuity and the role of grandparents in family life today.

    You’ll discover:

    • Why the “link in the chain” metaphor may be limiting our relationships
    • How grandparents serve as the roots that anchor identity and belonging
    • A deeper understanding of boundaries, connection, and emotional legacy
    • Practical ways to become more meaningfully woven into your grandchildren’s lives

    This episode is for Jewish grandparents and the middle generation who want to build strong, healthy, and spiritually grounded family relationships in a modern world.

  • Terumah: Build the Frame First
    Feb 14 2026

    In Parashat Terumah, the Torah spends nearly half of its 96 verses describing the structure of the Mishkan, the beams, walls, sockets, and coverings, before detailing the holy vessels like the Aron and Menorah. Why?

    This episode explores a powerful insight: holiness requires structure. Before Divine Presence can dwell among us, we must build a framework strong enough to hold it. What does this teach us about grandparenting, family relationships, and intergenerational connection today?

    In a world focused on influence, wisdom, and legacy, this conversation reframes what truly creates lasting impact: emotional safety, boundaries, consistency, and respect. If you care about Jewish parenting, grandparent relationships, family dynamics, Torah wisdom, and building strong intergenerational bonds, this episode is for you.

  • Mishpatim: Transforming 'If'
    Feb 9 2026

    In this episode of Connecting Jewish Grandparents, the Grand Plan Podcast, Sharona explores the Torah portion Mishpatim and shows how its practical laws transform anxiety-filled what if thinking into grounded, actionable if–then wisdom. Rather than abstract theology, Mishpatim offers a framework for daily life, emotional safety, and responsible planning. Sharona reflects on how structure, mitzvot, and thoughtful preparation help families move from uncertainty to confidence, and how grandparents can pass this wisdom to the next generation. This episode invites listeners to reflect on moments when they turned fear into clarity and to share those lessons with their grandchildren as part of a lasting legacy.
