It’s Out There, and the Stigma Must End: Confronting Substance Use in the Orthodox Community (105)

March 29, 2022 11:08 am

“I always thought that the first time I’d talk about my daughter publicly would be at her funeral.”

Last week we released an episode about problematic behaviors in Modern Orthodox high schools, with a particular focus on binge drinking. This week, Scott speaks with Lianne Forman, who founded the CCSA organization – Communities Confronting Substance Use and Addiction – along with her husband. Lianne forthrightly discusses drug use in the Orthodox community, the importance of removing the stigma, and what parents need to know in order to help their children – because sooner or later, our kids are going to be exposed to it. Lianne also relates the very personal story of their daughter’s misuse of alcohol and drugs.

CCR is just fantastic. 54 years ago today and it more than holds up.

I never stop being amazed that 25 years ago, Ramat Beit Shemesh didn't exist. Today it goes on and on and on; RBS A alone has over 100 synagogues - and there's also RBS B,C, D, and E - with more on the way.

I witness the Ingathering of the Exiles every time I walk outside.

Smotrich is a fool who speaks like a teenager, but this is rich coming from Jordan, where selling land to Jews is illegal and was punishable by death up to 1995.
