  What People are Saying

“Twelve Torah elementary schools with a combined enrollment of more than 6,000 pupils joined the effort to bring Safety Kid to Crown Heights. What a wonderful gift to give our children!

The Safety Kid program is the best tool we have to maintain a Machane Kodosh I am grateful to Mrs. Debbie Fox and Reb Yair for the great contribution you have made to chinuch and safety and I heartily endorse the Safety Kid program.”

— Rabbi Nochem Kaplan. Merkaz HaChinuch, Crown Heights, New York

“Safety Kid has been endorsed by many Rabbonim and Roshei Yeshiva and I suggest that schools consider bringing this program into their classrooms. […] The program is informative, creative, and very engaging for children. All the information is conveyed in a respectful, modest and Torah true manner.”

— Rabbi Dovid Nojowitz
Torah Umesorah, New York, NY

“The Child Safety Program is a wonderful and positive response to the dangers faced by all our children…the Safety Kid Program provides what is needed to empower, protect, and strengthen families everywhere.”

—Detective Paul Bishop III, Los Angeles Police Department
OIC – Sexual Assault Detail, West Los Angeles Area

“The Safety Kid program’s reception in our community fully endorsed our own high estimation of the program. It is a remarkable program; comprehensive without being overtaxing, informative without sacrificing one iota of sensitivity. The feedback we have received from those who attended your presentations, as well as from parents of children who have received the classroom component, overwhelmingly justify the community resources that were expended in bringing the program to our city.”

— Rabbi Motti Rapoport
Director, Relief Resources
Toronto, Canada

“Yesterday, my siblings and I were eating dinner whilst my Tatti was busy upstairs.  The door rang but we were not expecting anybody.  I told everyone to stop.  I ran into the kitchen to the refrigerator to look at our Safety Kid Magnet.  I went through the ABCs of safety until I remembered that I had to ‘Check First’.  The rules really do work!”

Rivki, 10,

“The Project SafeCamp model is the professional counselor training model we have been waiting for.  I recommend every camp become a Project SafeCamp.”

— Meir Frischman,
Director, Association of Jewish Camp Operators,
Director, Camp Agudah

“Our community’s experience with Magen Yeladim International’s Safety Kid program was remarkable in every way. While the need for a national preventative safety program is an unfortunate sign of the times, nevertheless, it is gratifying that a fabulous program, endorsed by leading Rabbonim and led by nationally acclaimed Mrs. Debbie Fox, has emerged and has already benefitted and impacted some 28,000 children across the globe. The program was presented to our parents, faculty, and students in a dignified, professional, appropriate and culturally sensitive manner and was truly well accepted by one and all.”

— Rabbi Simcha Dessler Menahel,
Educational Director,
Hebrew Academy of Cleveland
