Am I only the one here that sees “part” of the problem. If parents are supporting their children then they don’t have enough money to support the local yeshivas. Think about it. To support a young family can cost $40000+. Right there that can pay 7-8 tuitions! We have lost our priorities. Of course the financial crisis played a big part into this problem. However I feel that the people who do have the money are simply supporting their children (which is their right). However if it became OK for everyone to go to work and support themselves then there will be money for the yeshivas.
So here is the million dollar question: If you had a choice to support a kollel or an elementary yeshiva school what would you choose?
There is an article out today that talks about parents sending their children to Public School. This is what’s going to happen more often is the dollars are not sent to your local yeshivas.
WAKE UP people we got ourselves a big problem. Only 13 people commented so far to this post. It seems everyone simply wants to ignore this issue. If we don’t wake up soon and change our priorities we will CRASH… Let’s hope Moshiach gets here before this happens….
