Crown Heights Schools, in partnership with NCFJE, hosted a first-of-its-kind event on Monday, January 8th – Chof Zayin Teves, aimed at empowering families with the essential tools required to establish a safer environment for our children.
Promoting awareness and providing practical strategies, the event was an opportunity for the community to have essential conversations about technology.
The event’s core mission revolved around tangible, actionable change. Dr. Eli Shapiro delved into the impact of peer pressure, social media dynamics, and the critical role parental influence plays in shaping our children.
Rabbi Avremi Schapiro, Chabad Shliach in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, discussed the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship with children to navigate technological challenges together. Additionally, Rabbi Schapiro spoke to some of the middle schools and high schools of Crown Heights.
Alongside the program, there was a resource fair for the convenience of Crown Heights parents who attended. The fair offered discounted filtering services, kosher technology alternatives, mental health resources, and more. The resource fair created a space for the parents to take steps to make Technology safer for their children.
