Waterbury is behind the Shas Illuminated project. It seems like a great, affordable community not too far from NYC, and if they can help kids who have challenges or other impediments to growth, how is that a bad thing? Not everybody has to become a great lamdan. The goal of our system ought to be to give young people the tools to live meaningful Jewish lives where they’ll take joy in keeping the mitzvot and opening a sefer, and become pillars of their communities regardless of what profession they enter.
