Are We Creating Alcoholics & Addicts in the Name of Religion?

Listening to Understand

Is public alcohol abuse out of control at Kiddushim and Shul? Should communities and Rabbonim set alcohol boundaries in shul at Kiddushim? Should we accept poor behavior? Are we role modeling good behavior for our children? Do we understand the difference between using alcohol responsibly and irresponsibly in Judaism?

Menachem Poznanski is a licensed clinical social worker specializing in addictions treatment and recovery support. Menachem is Director of The Living Room, a clubhouse program for Jewish young adults in recovery from addiction, and Editor-in-chief of The Light Revealed, a content publisher serving the Jewish recovery community. Menachem is the author of three books and hosts the podcast "Consciously"

Menachem weighs in on the need for individuals to critically examine their beliefs and behaviors. Excessive alcohol consumption is something that we need to take accountability for and we need to recognize personal limits and ownership of our actions and not let alcohol be an excuse for irresponsible behavior. Introducing our children to responsible alcohol consumption, in moderation, can be a good step to changing the accepted norms.
