LISTENING IN

Tune in to true stories by teens!

Chaya was born with a mischievous expression on her face. If there was a trick played on a teacher or a practical joke on a classmate, she was usually to blame. Still, she wasn’t malicious or nasty, so why was she being called out for bullying?

Used to being just ordinary, without much talent or sparkle, Elisheva can’t help feeling jealous when her classmates rally behind a sick classmate. She wonders, would anyone miss her if she was the one in the hospital?
Avital has a private tutor three times a week and passing a test feels totally impossible. Her mother says that brains aren’t everything, but when the time to apply for seminary arrives, she isn’t so sure she believes it. Is there a place in society for someone like her?

In these pages, you’ll meet teens who are dealing with very real issues like facing terrifying phobias, friendships gone awry, and the challenges of being a perfectionist. Listen in on the conversation as they share their pain, their struggles, and ultimately their triumphs in this compelling collection.
