You know there are many bochurim short of cash and their parents are not in a position to help them out as much as they would like. So they get tempted in order to ease the cash flow. Many a good, honest and trusting bochur and sem girl have been tempted by the offer of ‘pocket-money’ or a trip via wherever in return for delivering a package. Not everyone is worldly enough to suspect the package could be drugs. Who thinks that mayo or peanut has something else stashed inside it?
Can you honestly say you would scrape out a jar of peanut butter or mayo just to make sure? Can you honestly say you would wash every dollar bill to make sure there are no drugs absorbed in them? Of course not!
However we must all be alert. Please continue to daven for these boys. I heard that the israelie Government are trying to negotiate that they serve their time in jail in Israel.
Whatever the outcome, draw a lesson from this,teach your kids to be alert and take note yourself
