“Hi guys, I wanted to let you know that my 7 year old son got separated from us at Disneyland yesterday. We found him a few minutes later talking to a safety officer. He had remembered the song on the CD that told him to find someone he could trust and he went over to a woman with a Disneyland ID tag and told her he was lost. She took him to a safety officer. We asked him if he was really scared and he said he was at first but then he remembered that he knew exactly what to do and he just went and did it. Just wanted to give you guys some nachas!”

“When my 6-year old came home from school today, she sat down my 3-year old and taught her the ABC’s of safety with the help of her beautiful safety certificate. I am so impressed that she not only knew the ABC’s of safety but that she was so enthusiastic to teach it to her sister.”

Parent/Teacher, Far Rockaway, New York

“The program was wonderful last week, and it was amazing to hear my kids at home singing and talking about the ABCs of safety. It even led to [my child] sharing that a neighbor made him feel uncomfortable and he was able to say specifically how! Well done.”

— Parent, Phoenix Hebrew Academy

“Just a brief note of thanks for a wonderful program—it was very well received, and the students are so excited. On a personal note, my own children came home and knew EVERYTHING (my wife tested them!). It made a deep impact, and I am very grateful.”

— Rabbi Isaac Entin
Principal, Phoenix Hebrew Academy

“Educating students how to stay safe, providing them the power to stay safe, in a sensitive and nonthreatening manner had evaded [Jewish Communities].

Magen Yeladim International has not only solved this riddle, they have created a viable program that has empowered our community to continue to educate our parents and youth long after they leave. The Safety Kid curriculum is bright, friendly and culturally appropriate.

As a host-school administrator and observer in the classrooms, I was impressed with every aspect of the training process and though we have quite an assertive student and parent body, I have only heard positive reports from them as well.”

— Rabbi Ilan Heifetz,M.Ed,, Director of General Studies
Cheder Lubavitch Hebrew Day School, Skokie, IL

“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
