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.�
