Does no one seriously care about the hypocrisy of the elite mosdos who will accept $$$ but not kids from those who don’t meet their “standards”? Clearly, there is little concern about the message this sends to people who are good, frum, God fearing Yidden, who maybe have a New York Times chas vecholilo in the house? Or who are maybe geirim, or baalei tshuva whose kids don’t get in because, well, pas’t nisht? And most importantly, what does it say to the kids themselves, that unseen and unknown people within a community they want to be part of reject them? DO you think a 14 year old girl who learns torah, dresses in a tzniyusdike way, doesn’t talk to boys, doesn’t go to movies is going to understand the calculated elitism involved? Explain to them (clearly, no one of the apologists here has been able to explain it to me) why they are treif but money from someone who isn’t even at their standard of frumkeit is kosher? ITS HYPOCRITICAL. It is evidence of a growing moral bankruptcy. And it is unsustainable.
