I don’t know what assistance can be offered on a consistent and sustainable basis, but I do know that the Geshem Training Center located on Kingston and Montgomery is a great way to help all parents and even our children of marriageable age to develop the skill sets needed to obtain a competitive job. With tuitions taking up one third to half of ones expenses, then it behooves the leadership and ‘powers to be’ in this community to encourage and support the very first professional training program in Crown Heights.

Jewish Education should be our most important political agenda

Jewish Education should be our most important political agenda!

We should shut down all NYC jewish schools at the same time and overwhelm the school district – they will be forced to give us the proper funding that we need.

Let’s quit this monkey business. We need immediate action before it gets worse. People are contemplating sending their children to public school. In the old country the Yidden had Mesiras Nefesh – now its our turn. At least 50% of the country would get behind such a movement .

Lets not wait any longer!! Demand more action from our leaders!

Hmmmm

Will the administrators of our non- “major yeshivas” in the be notified of the available funding and of contact numbers for those who can help them?
Here’s a list, in case you don’t have one (if I left anyone out, please add your name):

Beth Rivkah
Bnos Menachem
Bais Chaya Mushka
Bnos Chomesh
Ohr Menachem
Darchei Menachem
Lamplighters
Mosdos Day Care Center
Ohel Sarah Day Care Center
Cheder at the Ohel
ULY of Ocean Parkway

I hope this initiative will benefit ALL of our parents and ALL of our schools.

Get real

No matter how much government funds the schools will get, they will NEVER EVER lower tuition, they will continue to cry and complain about expenses. Schools will NEVER EVER disclose to parents any increase in government funding. It’s nice that hey had a Meetting with pictures etc. no real help will come out of it. If they really wanted to lower tuition they will implemented strong fundraising, accountebilety of funds, expenses and real political pressure.

Way to go, and Sholom B’roishom!

Kol HaKavod to Sholom Rosenfeld who does not leave one stone unturned in trying to help the yeshiva parents with tuition. I find him to be most understanding and accommodating.
