The idea has been brought up to register yeshivos as cultural charter schools.

This would allow yeshivos to cater classes to meet language and cultural needs, while receiving government funding for operations.

The only downside is that students need to be admitted by lottery.

However, if the classes are limited to Hebrew/ Yiddish- are we not , most probably, going to limit the application populous to a generally desirable one, regardless, and thereby limit the risk of being required to admit students we would not have otherwise admitted?

While I do realize that there still is a risk, is the risk so great that it does not outweigh the benefit of eliminating the burden of tuition from thousands and thousands of frum people who are already struggling with the OL of PARNASAH?
