@kilovh Nah, most benefits are state based
The real issue is that most mosdos under Merkos are operating with religious exceptions that are federal so that might actually be a shit show.
Not only have you not tried everything, but you have probably tried almost nothing. Did you try drastically reducing his screen time? Did you try changing his diet and getting all the processed junk out of your house? Did you try drastically reducing your own screen time so that you can interact with him and play games with him and give him something enjoyable and wholesome to focus on? Did you try finding him some kind of sport or outdoor activity that allows him to burn off energy and develop useful skills? Did you try a mandatory 45 minute reading time at night before bed, where all screens are turned off and he sits and reads or you read to him?
Now did you try all of these things for years, because that’s what “trying them” actually means? The answer is no. I know that it’s no, because he’s 7 and you have him on drugs. Don’t even claim you’ve tried everything until you’ve done all of this for years and years. That’s what the job of parenting is.
Jews can fix it by embracing our identity and our role, having no shame in it, and actually having the courage to educate the world.
And what the world needs to hear now is that same as what it needed to hear at the time of Sinai.
"We are here to serve G-d."
Tonight begins the Palestinian Holiday of Mourning, “Tisha Ba’av”.
1,400 years before Moses was born, the Romans destroyed the Palestinian Temple in Al-Quds.
Therefore, Palestinians worldwide fast on Tisha Ba’av to mourn the loss. Their connection to the land runs deep 🥲🇵🇸
