Reply To: Did I Harm A Child?

You didn’t harm her. The practice of writing Haman’s name on our shoes shows our disdain for him and our wish that his name be erased. It’s not a magical charm or anything, so you don’t have to worry about causing her harm. If you’re worried about her feeling bad, I’d tell you not to because I’ve never yet seen a kid who minded what happened to the sidewalk chalk after she went inside.
