‘HOW TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN in an INCREASINGLY DANGEREOUS WORLD.’

MAY 3, 2015 9:15AM Fvjc-es 55 Bushy Hill Road, Simsbury

Over the last few years there has been noticeable difference in violence and danger that we face in the world at large. It seems to come at us in both expected and unexpected ways. It confronts us as gun violence, bullying, beheadings, terror attacks, cyber-terrorism, kidnappings, rape, war, home invasions, and extremism of all kinds. Over the last few years Rabbi Herman has heard from many of you how difficult it is for you to conceive of all of the dangers that we face out there is the world even in seemingly safe and protected environments. But there has been one constant theme asked in numerous ways that you have shared with the Rabbi about these difficult times and that is “How do I expose my child or my children to it? How do I keep them safe? How do I respond when they ask me “why” this violent act or that violent act has occurred? Why were these people hurt or killed? Is it going to happen to me? What can I do to insure that my kids are not victims? Can I in some way make a difference here?

This is exactly what we will be discussing on Sunday morning May 3rd at 9:15 am when Rabbi Herman and FVJC-EMEK Shalom will host a panel discussion entitled “How To Raise Children In An Increasingly Dangerous World”. Come and hear from a very special panel of psychologists, educators, attorneys, and clergy as they seek to answer questions and help you develop strategies to aid families wrestling with these dilemmas.

Please join us that morning for an intriguing and vital discussion meant for families with children of all ages. If you are grandparents who have the same questions we would welcome your involvement and participation as well. If you would like to submit questions beforehand to be certain that they will be addressed please email those to Rabbi Herman at rabbi@fvjc.org.
