GAW:”We have a Torah. The Gemorah, Rambam, Tur & Shulchan Aruch all say to EMBARASS the man who does not take care of his children.”
I want you to find ONE Gadol who will encourage the embarassment of a parent who can’t pay tuition. Never ever.
As far as selling Leichter, the heaviest and most exquisite of Leichters, would rarely yield $1000. on the used silver market, which is less than a fraction of a year of tuition for ONE of their children. And, rarely do the needy parents have the most exquisite of Leichters or jewelry for that matter.
