April is a month that Israel celebrates its past and independence. Yom HaShoah, also known as Holocaust Remembrance Day, occurs on the 27th of Nissan. The following week Yom HaZikaron, a Memorial Day for soldiers who lost their lives and Yom HaAtzmaut, Israeli Independence Day, marks the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948. On these dates the past experiences are shared and cultures are commemorated by the community. April also serves as National Child Abuse Prevention month. In 1983, April was proclaimed the first National Child Abuse Prevention Month. As a result, child abuse and neglect awareness activities are promoted across the country during April of each year. Today, the Child Abuse Prevention Initiative continues to be an opportunity to create strong communities to support families and keep children safe. A factor in preventing child abuse is by providing a strong community. It is our responsibility to ensure, that as the Jewish community, we are doing everything that we can to be supportive of those around us. Here are a few tips from the Administration on Children & Families on ways to get protection and fortify community:
