Sassoon is organizing a teen suicide impedance program that will be presented by the Ahava Machar Chapter of Hadassah at Temple B’nai Torah in Wantagh on Monday evening.

Topics covered will involve teen suicide statistics, myths and facts, warning signs and gamble factors, and how to talk to a friend in crisis.

Buycott Israel, an initiative of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) that was started in 2009 to aid consumers to support Israeli-made products in response to boycott actions, sent out an signal to its followers last week in response to a flash-mob demonstration in a Bed, Bath & Beyond cache in Larkspur, California on Dec. 10.

There have been no reports of protests at the company’s Canadian outlets – located in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Archipelago – said Sara Saber-Freedman, the Montreal-based administrative vice-president of CIJA and the lead on the Buycott file.

The reject was organized by the U.S.-based group Codepink, which has targeted Ahava products in the old times. The group describes itself as “a women-initiated grassroots agreeable and social justice movement.”
