Raising Kids in the Smartphone Era: A Community's Plan for Healthy Tech Habits

A Miami-based Lubavitch Educational Center initiative shares guidance for parenting in the smartphone age, framing technology as a tool to be used mindfully rather than a force that controls behavior. The piece outlines practical steps: limit screen time and keep devices out of bedrooms and mealtimes, use dedicated family phones and screen-free audio or reading devices, apply filters (e.g., Google Family Link, Circle, etc.), and consider managed iPhones with restricted apps. It promotes phone alternatives and emphasizes presence and public-space screens, guided by Rebbe teachings that kedusha should drive technology use. The article highlights MUST (Mothers Unite to Stall Technology) and The Club—programs to keep students smartphone-free or on tight access—and invites other schools to replicate the model. With 175+ participants, the program’s impact grows, including stories of students choosing to stay off smartphones amid peer pressure.

Two more arrests widen probe into arson plot targeting Jewish sites

Counter-terrorism police in London have arrested two more suspects (a 19-year-old and a 26-year-old) in Watford as part of an ongoing probe into an alleged arson plot targeting a Jewish-site. Nine people have been arrested in three days, with others released on bail, as investigators probe a series of arson attacks in north‑west London against Jewish sites, ambulances, and a charity—and related incidents such as a drone near the Israeli embassy—while authorities pledge increased patrols and public reassurance.

London’s Jewish community braces for resilience amid antisemitic attacks

Over a week, a wave of antisemitic attacks on synagogues and Jewish buildings in London has unsettled the city’s Jewish community but also strengthened resolve. A Kenton United Synagogue arson attack caused smoke damage with no injuries and led to arrests; other incidents hit Finchley Reform Synagogue and a Jewish charity’s former premises. Police and CST are investigating groups linked to the attacks, amid broader UK antisemitism data showing high per-capita impact on Jews. Community leaders warn of a dangerous moment, while many residents say they will not be cowed and will continue to worship and send children to Jewish schools under heightened security.
