Stop Bullying In Israel

Bullying and the psychological damage it causes to children is well documented. The Rock and Water method - https://www.rotsenwater.nl/ - was founded to give children the psychosocial tools with which to contend with bullying. Rock and Water has been proven effective in many studies and is implemented all over the world. Aviva Fort, a mother whose children suffered unbelievable bullying after they moved to Israel is a basic self-defense instructor licensed by the Ministry of Sport and Culture. We are asking for donations to fund the course and the travelling for her so she can teach the small children in our school. Afterwards, we need the funds to send male teachers to an approved Rock and Water Institute according to their regulations regarding who is allowed to teach their path. We aim to bring this program here to show what it is all about, so more teachers will go and learn it to bring it to schools all over Israel. Rock and Water can really make a difference by giving children the self-esteem and coping tools to make bullying something that has no impact on them. Please be a part of this movement to stop bullying in Israel and its horrific influence on our society. "I have known Mrs. Aviva Fort for many years. She has exceptional values and is dedicated to true Torah ideals. Having overcome much adversity, she is driven to help children develop a strong healthy sense of self through teaching positive skills for social awareness and respect. I fully support her efforts and applaud her determination to affect essential change." - Rabbi Chaim Zvi Senter, Yeshiva Aderes HaTorah "No one can estimate the good done by helping even one child move successfully towards a life of meaning. The cost of bringing this about is one of the investments you will ever make. "The Rock and Water method ( discovered in the Netherlands) has had significant success in teaching methods to eliminate bullying. If you ever saw a child being bullied (or if you yourself had that experience) you know how essential a genuine solution can be. "Whatever help you can provide to Aviva Fort is most welcome, and no doubt will help her change lives." - Rebbitzen Tziporah (Heller) Gottlieb, worldwide speaker and seminary teacher
