A Better Safe Than Sorry Book

A Better Safe Than Sorry Book, published in Israel in 2012, is a children's book aimed at Haredi Jewish children addressing the issue of child sexual abuse and warning children to stay away from sex abusers. The book is a collaboration between Ella Bargai, a secular Jew, and Nitai Melamed, an Orthodox rabbi.

Reception

The book has generally been well-received, selling out of its first printing soon after being released.[1] Rabbis from the Hasidic, Lithuanian, and Sephardic communities have endorsed it. However, the Gur Hasidim have rejected the book because it includes women and girls in addition to men and boys.[2]

gollark: 0 AD. They claim it doesn't exist, but it's where their headquarters are.
gollark: Who? My laptop? The O-5 Council? [REDACTED]? Queen Elizabeth II? The people who replace the adverts on buses? The reptilian illuminati aliens?
gollark: I assumed my phone would use its GPS chip for time, but it seems to be off more than it should be if that was true.
gollark: Well, I set my watch and such based on my laptop, which is then synced via NTP with ~centisecond accuracy.
gollark: How exciting; I can't wait to communicate with spirits, then negotiate business deals involving having them look up random information on things in return for factory-farmed souls.
