Welcome to Running Commentary!
Life is filled with big questions: how we raise our children, how we hold joy and grief at once, how we stay present in a world that constantly pulls us away. This space is where we slow down and explore them together.
I am Rabbi Yali Szulanski. I am a Jewish educator, spiritual counselor, and rabbi. My work sits at the intersection of emotional intelligence, resilience, parenting, and Jewish wisdom. I write about the real moments that shape us: the questions our children ask, the ways we show up for one another, the stories we inherit, and the ones we are still becoming.
