Start at the Edge: Faith, Community, and the Front Line of Prevention [4 minutes]

Rabbanit Dr. Devorah Halevy's address in Washington, D.C. at the National Drug Strategy Summit hosted by the Office of National Drug Control Policy. The Rabbanit was invited to represent the Jewish nation in important conversations surrounding prevention, treatment, mental health, addiction, long-term rehabilitation, and the role that faith and community can play in protecting and restoring human life. The Rabbanit met with agencies, researchers, clinicians, educators, law enforcement, faith leaders, and advocates all committed to working together toward one goal: "A safe and healthy America, where a drug-free life is the prevailing norm." (5/6/2026) In her own words: "As the Rabbanit of Shiviti, I remain deeply apolitical - my work is not tied to any party or platform. But I will go wherever I believe my message can help bring about real, lasting change for all people." — Rabbanit Devorah Halevy's official YouTube channel!
