Three comments to people above –
1)Everyone says that people aren’t machshiv torah education and that is why the rebbeim are suffering. That shows some naivete of the establishment. I never ever hear from the establishment that the charges for tuition are just simply unrealistic. The average person does not have $25K – $3OK after tax income.
2)How about some consolidation of the jewish mosdos instead of new ones opening each year and tapping into the same monies that existing mosdos are tapping into. Tell me – why do we need tzedakas that are for identical causes making duplicate chinese auctions and fundraisers.Wouldn’t it be so much better if there was one organization instead of two?
3)How about trying out a kehilla system in flatbush? 10 thousand families contribute 10K a year to a fund instead of tuition and then you have 100Million a year. That’s not enough to run a school system and camp system? That will stimulate the jewish economy by taking the burden off of parents who have to pay 4 times that amount.
