Bullying In Yeshiva

 http://www.5tjt.com/bullying-in-yeshiva/

Bullying is a problem that we are perhaps sweeping under the rug, but it exists in our yeshivos, day schools, Bais Yaakovs, and camps. Even if no one is stealing someone else’s shoes, the ona’as devarim, and often even the physical abuse, exists in our environments as well. Bullying hurts others, can have devastating repercussions for its victims, and is an issur d’Oraisa–a Torah prohibition. Its existence in our institutions is tantamount to having pork or any other treif or tamei food.
