“We are warning parents to disable social media apps such as Instagram, X and TikTok from their children’s phones,” Rabbi Daniel Nevins, the head of school at Golda Och Academy in West Orange, N.J., wrote to community members Tuesday.
“Graphic and misleading information is flowing freely, augmenting the fears of our students.”The Jewish Community Center of Central New Jersey put out similar guidance.
“What we’re finding is that people are looking for ways to help, they’re looking for resources,” the center’s executive director, Mike Goldstein, said.
Seth Golob, director of the Jackson Religious School and Family Engagement at Sutton Place Synagogue in New York City, told parents that limiting social media “is a tall task, and not one person’s responsibility.
However, the stuff coming out is horrific, and all we can do is our part in trying to keep our children safe.”
