[From our archives] The following pre-Purim message, endorsed by leading Lakewood Rabbonim, has been submitted to TLS by Dr. Jonathan Cohen and Dr. Reuven Shanik:
Avoid unnecessary illness and/or accidents related to irresponsible drinking.
1. Keep alcohol away from minors (less than 21 years of age).
2. Ask your neighbor, friends, shuls, etc. not to serve alcohol to minors.
3. Ask your sons’ Rabbeim and Roshei Yeshiva not to serve alcohol to your sons.
4. Be clear with your own children as to your expectation for their behavior.
5. AVOID UNNECESSARY LITIGATION, LAW SUITS, FINANCIAL LOSS OVER ILLNESSES OR ACCIDENTS RAISED BY ALCOHOL.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful safe Purim.
