Yeshivas are vital for our future to securely transmit the Nesora to future generations in Quantity and Quality.
Moreshes Kehilas Yaakov – it is an Inheritance of the Whole Community of Jacob. It is not for the lucky ones but for All Yisroel. It is understrood yeshivas struggle as public schools et full coverage from US taxes and yeshivas get rather little even for non Religous oritented studies. That said parents haveto pay thousands of dollars per child a year. It seems Free Lunch is Indeed Offered by the Board of Ed. It seems Quite a few schools charge $500 per child for catered lunch. It seems in my days yeshivas concentrated on studies and may have had ONE School trip a year. It should be understood during the summer we also went to camp for fun activities. Yet it seems many schools now have SEVERAL trips for each grade a year per child costing a total per child for such trips of about $250 on average. I do not recall schools Asking Parents if they can Pay or for a vote. So far this covers $750 extra costs per child. Are there OTHER items that can be CHEAPER or Not Really Needed? This needs to be taken into account so ALL PARENTS can afford And indeed cut school costs. Every Parent Please COPY And Share With Friends this note – It may Help make tuition More Affordable for More Families and Actually reduce school costs And ALso Not Spoil Our CHildren. Of course our children are precious royalty – but many parents may not have ROYAL WAGES.How can we say every yeshiva is utilizing whatever aid IS available from the government to help frum parents carry the burden when for example there can be free lunch and we are charged $650 per child?!?
Not following the logic
The public school population is eating “horrible food”??? THey also seem healthier.
Do they?
I dont understand??????????????
Is that a question?
Your children are not entitled to handouts.
If we help poor people they will think it’s okay to be poor.
Ummm. You should switch your kids schools. My kids go on one or no trips a year at a max of 20 dollars.
I’m still not following. Is your tayna on the yeshivas or the board of ed?
Most yeshivas don’t have a kitchen and the legalities of getting catered foods from the govt are more than you can ever imagine. You can make lunches for your kids like I do for mine.
My son attends a yeshiva that has it’s own kitchen and charges for lunches (I think it’s $400/year). They do not opt into the Government programs because they do not have a way to audit the papers that the parents have to complete to make sure that the parents are actually filling out the papers truthfully. So we have the choice of paying the ~$2 – $3 a day or preparing our son’s lunch. we chose the latter.
BenK, there is a difference between being homeless but self-sufficient and being totally desperate.
