Joseph…
comparing Federation allocations nationally makes no sense. The vast majority of Jewish Federations exist in places without orthodox day schools or yeshivos.
That’s why I highlighted OOT Federations I’m familiar with who all allocate funds to orthodox day and high schools if they exist.
OOT Jewish life is far different that in town. It’s not unusual for Jewish business people and professionals to belong to and pay dues to multiple synagogues. We support the shuls we grew up in even if we no longer live in the area. After all, OOT the shuls generally own and keep up the cemeteries, not lansleit or for profit businesses as in NY and NJ.
When New Haven had a litvish Day School in addition to Chabad it got Federation funding. Bridgeport uses the fund the former Hillel Academy and does contribute to both the New Haven and Stamford Day school where Bridgeport area kids attend as commuters.
If Hareidi NYers expect NY Federation to fund their schools then they have to get involved with Federation. They can’t say we won’t work with non-frum towards the grater good and still expect a handout.
