Reply To: Tuition committee requests

“I know members of scholarship committees and unfortunately, families cannot be trusted anymore.”

SO DO I . And I’m saddened that you feel Jews are no longer trustworthy. MAYBE if they didn’t feel so violated by these committees they wouldn’t be so elusive??

There are halachos regarding checking people out before they can obtain Tzedaka. Once again, it is a matter of balance.

“Lets not forget that scholarships are tzedaka and you are supposed to avoid taking tzedaka.”

Funny how these same schools preach that you should go into learning, thereby GUARANTEEING themselves no chance of collecting tuition. And also funny how when it’s Abba/Tatty/Daddy who is taking the Tzedaka to LEARN it’s Ok but for kids chinuch it’s not???

Agreed. And?

Its like I say: when you have skin in the game, all of the sudden the rules change.

The SCHOOLS need your extra $1200 so THEY can serve fleishigs EVERY NIGHT(most yeshivos do)???

Gemorah Mefureshes. In addition also see the Taz’s Tayina on his FIL the Bach (IIRC).

And Ein Hachi Nami, complain or vote with your feet.
