Over the past 40 years, thousands of young people
in New York City whose parents were Orthodox Jews
have gone “Off-The_Derech”.
NONE of those young people were ever in the Israeli Army,
yet somehow, they managed to go “Off-The_Derech”.

�Our youth are walking away.
Why shouldn�t they? What do they see?
Hypocrisy. Double standards.
Parents who preach values they don�t practice.
Schools that break children�s spirits instead of raising them up.
Why are we shocked when boys and girls run from it all?
The only surprise is that more haven�t yet.�
