Video featured by leading ultra-Orthodox artists seeks to bring up the sensitive issue • Clip initiators: "Help is just one phone call away"

In the ultra-Orthodox world, it has been difficult for many years to fight sexual harassment and sexual abuse. For a long time the phenomena were suppressed and ignored, but in recent times the disregard was stopped and a war on the subject began.

A powerful new song featuring leading ultra-Orthodox artists seeks to raise awareness of the issue of sexual abuse among ultra-Orthodox society and provides the support needed for victims. Under the title "hold on", the "pillars" association, which conducts a fight against sexual abuse (as well as all addictions and crimes in the ultra-Orthodox sector, DL), created a video about the ongoing effects of unresolved trauma.

The video depicts the struggles of a person haunted by harsh memories of childhood sexual abuse and conveying a message of hope and healing, acknowledging the difficulties of overcoming trauma and trying to assure sufferers that the dedicated team of pillars will be there and for them every step of the way. The writer and performer of the song is Nissim Black, with Avi Kraus (olamedia jlm production).

"This is an incredible collaborative effort by talented artists to raise awareness of the important issue of abuse - along with the vital message that there is always hope," says Rabbi Zvi Glock, founder and director of the Amudim Association in conversation with "Israel Today". He explained that, "As an organization, we are always looking for innovative ways to raise awareness so that people in pain or who know someone is suffering can finally get the help they need, even traumas that occurred many years ago. People need to understand that help is one phone call away And she is the one who makes a difference for them to the full world. "

Issues such as sexual abuse and addiction have long been taboo in the ultra-Orthodox sector, which prides itself on maintaining constant adherence both to Jewish law and counteracting it by separating it from modern society. Against this background, the extent of the ills in the sector is unclear on these issues. In any case, this increases the need to produce smart ways of dealing with the important issue effectively and without creating unnecessary tensions among the sector's people.
