No child should feel threatened or harassed. The entire Jewish community must come together to take a stand against those who are perverting Torah and Halacha and are leading a campaign to harass and intimidate children on their way to school.


We are supposed to love one another, and we are never supposed to cause another person embarrassment. We need a unified voice to speaking out against what's going on, and to tell the world that the actions of the few do not represent true Torah values. I urge all Jews to join together in condemning these actions along with other acts of violence, aggression, and intimidation towards others.


I pledge not to donate money to any person or group who is involved in the intimidation and harassment of others. 'Involvement' ranges from active participation to not speaking out against the verbal and physical attacks. When someone wants to collect tzedaka from me, I will ask for their perspective on the situation, and whether I can publicly quote them on it before I will donate.

TOTAL DISGRACE. These people need to remember what being a decent human being is actually about. Enough is enough.

this is absolutely heartbreaking to watch. no child should ever be afraid to walk to class. shame on anyone who thinks this is okay.
