” While sharing the story of his daughter’s death by suicide, Rabbi Shalom Hammer managed to make us laugh and cry. But more, he made us think. His message helped give us signs to look for, things to consider. The audience didn’t want to let him go. In a world that is too busy to see what is happening with our children, we have to be aware. We have to watch, listen and act. His daughter’s way was to be kind to others, to notice when others were in need and Gila’s Way does the same through it’s vital seminars. Every school and every community needs to incorprate a Gila’s Way Program.”
