Sasson I see the “rape culture†as merely another symptom of a campus context which is not primarily informed by any religious (Orthodox/Torah) Hashkafa.

I am a parent with a son a daughter who have gone to Israel to learn. Fortunately, we self-selected programs which have only acted with the utmost professionalism in their recruitments.
