Baltimore, MD – Oct. 12, 2023  – In an effort to provide information to parents and safety to our children we are sharing with you a notice that has been disseminated to Jewish Day schools across the country.

“Respected mental health professionals are urging parents to tell their children to delete Instagram and Tik Tok immediately. We strongly advise our students to do the same as soon as possible. Terrorists are expected to release distressing videos of hostages begging for their lives. People who follow Jewish or Israeli influencers may stumble upon them. As one psychologist has noted, “The videos and testimonies we are currently exposed to are bigger and crueler than our souls can contain.”
