A new episode on the Menorah channel: You can’t explain to a fool that he is a fool! Disputes, silence, patience, maturity, and the choice of environment

A brand new, sincere and thoughtful conversation between Chief Rabbi of Dnipro Shmuel Kaminezki and his son Mendel is now available on the Menora YouTube channel. This is the second episode of dialogue explores traditional Jewish proverbs — short, powerful expressions of centuries-old wisdom. Yet the episode is much more than just a commentary on sayings. It’s a deep reflection on dignity, self-respect, silence and speech, inner strength, relationships, boundaries, and emotional maturity.

Why is silence sometimes stronger than shouting, and when must we speak up firmly? How do we recognize manipulation, set personal limits in time, and preserve our value — even in close relationships? These questions are raised through relatable examples, not moralizing — which makes the conversation truly thought-provoking.

We highly recommend watching — and don’t forget to share your favorite Jewish proverbs in the comments. Often, it’s timeless wisdom that holds the answers when we feel surrounded by questions.
