Join Chaim, his sister Estie, his friends Shaya, Tzvi, Meir and others, as they come to some really important conclusions. Thiink things through with Chaim as he resists the temptation to get even with his sister...Decide the next move with Estie as she applies Monopoly to her own life...Listen in as Zaidy shares what he learned from life's changing circumstances...Team up with Tzvi and Chaim as they discover that every person has strengths and weaknesses...and much more!
