Keyword family keyword bio family has always been very important to me. I made an effort to attend any simcha or siyum by the children or the grandchildren. I flew in from Thailand to Israel for less than 12 hours to attend naftali's grandsons bar mitzvah. I once flew back and forth from Israel in one day to attend one of dovey and Judy's weddings. I flew by private jet to Lakewood during COVID for tzvis vort. And many other situations like that.

In the book
Family has always been the center of my own life. I have flown across the world and back in a single day to be at a grandchild's simcha, because being there was never optional. So this chapter is about the two halves of the formation: how to be a good member of the family you came from, and how to build a good family of your own. […] Family has been the great love and the great work of my life. I flew across oceans for your weddings and your bar mitzvahs because there was never anywhere else I would rather have been. And I want to tell you, plainly and on the record, two things. — Family & Parenting (Family/Parenting)
