Rabbi David Yosef Shlita, a member of Shas’ Moetzas Gedolei Yisrael, calls on parents to teach their children street/road safety, the need to be cautious when crossing streets, riding a bicycle and so-forth, mentioning a recent tragedy, the boy killed when struck by a bus on Shmuel HaNavi Street this week.

The rav made his comments during a shiur in Beis Medrash Yechavei Daas. He mentioned there must be additional care taken during bein hazmanim when so many children are out in the streets. He explained the Shas-affiliated Mayan Chinuch education network has included a safety program into its curriculum.
