CALL TO ACTION: Request to all Rabbis on behalf of Sexual Violence Awareness Month

Message from The Awareness Center:

CALL TO ACTION: Request to all Rabbis on behalf of Sexual Violence Awareness Month

Please forward the following message to every rabbi you know!


Each week many of our rabbis send out weekly messages and prayers to their congregants. Considering April is Sexual Violence Awareness Month and also a month that represents freedom to the Jewish people, The Awareness Center is asking that all rabbis to send messages of healing, empowerment and growth to those who are who are suffering the life long effects of surviving sexual violence.

All survivors of sex crimes are veterans of a war. The messages sent out should be about honoring survivors as if they were hero's of a horrendous war battle.

The only true victims are those who lost their lives as a results of the wounds inflicted upon them by those who commit these sorts of crimes and also those who enable offenders to continue to create more victims. Those who are victims, died as a result of the physical actions of the offender, commit suicide and or are lost to chemicals and other forms of addictions.

If you are a rabbi who is sending out a message, please forward your message to vickipolin@aol.com so that we can share your message with Survivors around the world.

Sincerely,
