David's Shabbat Message
Bullying and the JewsIt seems like every day there is new news about bullying. There is bullying in school, bullying in the street, cyber-bullying is both popular and deadly because it can be done remotely and impersonally. There is now a Bully Project that has made a movie with the goal of being viewed by one million kids. Their website right now says 58,352 have seen it already. |
