Alcohol Abuse and the Orthodox Community: Do We Have a Problem? (Orthodox Conundrum Classic)

February 24, 2021 11:18 am

(In anticipation of Purim, the Orthodox Conundrum is rereleasing this classic episode from last year. The issues raised, unfortunately, apply just as much this year as last.)

Purim is, if not the most joyous holiday on the Jewish calendar, then certainly the most “fun.” And therein lies the problem: are we teaching our children and students that having fun requires alcohol? Is teenage alcohol abuse a real danger, or is it healthy to let loose given that it’s only one day a year? Is worrying about Purim drinking and the effects of kiddush clubs alarmist, or necessary? What should be done if you suspect that your kid has a problem, and how is “problem” even defined? Join Scott Kahn as he interviews Dr. Zev Ganz in this important and timely episode.

The Israelites rejected the manna, a gift from G-d that wasn't good enough.
The spies rejected the Land of Israel, a gift from G-d that wasn't good enough.
And now too many reject the vaccine, a gift from G-d that apparently isn't good enough.

Are we ignoring a real problem? Should we discourage kids from drinking on Purim, turn a blind eye, or actively prevent them, if possible? What do you think?
