Problematic Behaviors in Yeshiva High Schools: Binge Drinking, Gambling, and More (104)

March 21, 2022 12:40 pm

With Purim now in the rear-view mirror, it’s worthwhile to investigate the place of drinking in our Orthodox communities. Rabbi Tully Harcsztark and Dr. Rivka Schwartz assert that it does, indeed, play a troubling role. In fact, scientific surveys have demonstrated that yeshiva high school students are involved in numerous antisocial behaviors, like binge drinking, gambling, and marijuana use – and some of them, at a significantly higher rate than American high school students in general.

Parents and educators – and everyone who cares about the future of the Jewish community – need to ask why this is happening, how it is connected to affluence, what can be done to change these behaviors, and more.

Please listen to and share this podcast, and let us know what you think on the Orthodox Conundrum Discussion Group on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/432020081498108).

The great @EasterbrookG started a substack and I just subscribed. It's called All Predictions Wrong and I am genuinely psyched.

This album, the first by the Beatles.

Released 60 years ago today.

Please please me, indeed.

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.
