How Bar Mitzvah Training Builds
Resilience: Lessons from Jax in
Los Angeles
You know why most people never succeed?
Because they give up after failing once. Twice. Or maybe three times.
But let me tell you something powerful: Thomas Edison failed over 10,000 times
before inventing the lightbulb. That’s not a typo. Ten. Thousand. Failures.
But Edison didn’t quit. He didn’t cry about not being good enough. He didn’t give up
and say, “Maybe this just isn’t for me.” He saw failure for what it really is—a stepping
stone. One more lesson learned. One more way that didn’t work. And he kept going
until he found what did.

That’s what I teach every single student at CoolCantor Hebrew School.
Because if you want your child to build unstoppable resilience—the kind of strength
that lights up the world—then they need to stop fearing failure and start embracing
growth.
Let me tell you about Jax.
Jax is one of my amazing students from Los Angeles. When we first connected, he
was feeling unsure of himself. Like many kids his age, he had tried a few
things—coding, soccer, guitar—and each time, when he didn’t excel right away, he’d
quietly back away. Shrink a little. Stop trying. Why? Because failing made him feel
like he wasn’t good enough.
But that’s not the truth.
The truth is, failure is how we learn. It’s how we grow. And it’s how we win.
So in our Online Bar Mitzvah Lessons, Jax didn’t just learn how to chant a Torah
portion or read Hebrew fluently using the Best Hebrew Course I’ve designed. He
learned how to fall forward. He learned that leadership and confidence come from
getting up—again and again—when things get hard.
Week by week, Jax showed up. He practiced his Hebrew reading using transliterated
materials tailored for his level. He explored the Weekly Torah Portion with me
through life coaching lessons rooted in Jewish wisdom. He started to open up—first
in our messages, then with his family, and then in school. And when it came time to
deliver his Bar Mitzvah speech, Jax owned the moment. Calm, prepared, powerful.
Not because he never failed.
But because he failed forward—just like Edison.
That’s the difference maker.
You see, at CoolCantor Hebrew School, our goal isn’t just to get your child through a
ceremony. Yes, we prepare them for the Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah. Yes, we teach
