Thanks to the help of a 12-year old NY girl, some of these children now have a new way to cope with the stress and emotional turmoil of terrorism: knitting.

Arutz Sheva notes that:
Over the past several years, scientific studies have shown that knitting is an excellent therapy for the kind of constant stress residents of places like Sderot are constantly under. The activities involved in knitting – the automatic movements, the focus on parts of the project, and the physiological movements – have been shown to not only reduce stress, but to also possibly help memory retention, and even reduce the effects of chronic pain."
