we’d love to hear what you think:

Q:        What's your view on youth month?
           A:        The Youth month is suppose to be about empowering the youth and commemorating June 16, not a mindless celebration that we are witnessing.

           A:        As a young man myself, I also share as much knowledge as possible with my peers, not only in June but throughout the year.

Q:        Any thoughts to share with our peers about the month.
           A:        Jews don’t celebrate the Holocaust, the Japanese don’t celebrate Hiroshima, they commemorate. Let’s do likewise, there’s nothing to celebrate.
