The Myth of Jewish Addiction

URL: http://www.jewishjournal.com/addicted_to_redemption/item/the_myth_of_jewish_addiction


When you think of a drug addict you probably picture that dirty, bearded man who harasses you for change outside of 7-Eleven. Addicts are usually portrayed as the bottom level of society, people who steal, lie, and who should never be trusted. Although many people often try to help addicts there is still an overwhelming belief in the Jewish community that, “It won’t happen to my kid.” Jewish children are raised in an atmosphere where success is revered and most Jews continue to think that addiction is something that happens to other people.
