For too long, our community has chosen the comfort of silence over the safety of our children. Nechama Meyer was 15 and a half - thrilled to finally be in senior high school - when Malka Leifer entered her life. What felt off in ways that were hard to name back then has a name now. And Nechama had the courage to say it out loud. All those who joined us at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim can attest that when Nechama finished speaking, Rabbi Daniel Coren asked everyone to stand - not just for the beautiful, courageous moment we had all just witnessed, but to say loud and proud that we stand with survivors. For everyone who has been silenced, doubted, or pressured to protect someone who did not deserve protection, we stand with you.
