“Oh, that is what they call “vouchers”.
“I shared this daydream with a menahel, and he angrily told me that he would declare me an enemy of Yiddishkeit. He stated that the yeshiva needs the freedom to pressure the parents for tuition.”
Little and Gavra, this comment is for you. I asked a local administrator what would realistically happen if the pipe dream of vouchers were to come true. The answer? Tuition would rise by the amount of the vouchers. Are you folks hearing this??? I thought I would puke.
The beginning of Shoftim (not the parsha) says that the Judges were being judged. there are 2 explanations. 1) woe is the generation that judges their judges, or 2) woe is the generation that the judges do things that cause the nation to have to judge them. I think its a rashi right in the beginning. Folks, every day I lose hope that we are now in the 2nd. Because if its the first at least some charismatic rav/leader could come and shlep us up with him. with the second, we are lost. SMH…..
