What exactly would be so terrible if two schools would merge. That might mean one administrator, one bus coordinator, one cook, 1/2 the support staff.
Don’t people get it? Every time we open a new school we’re not helping. We causing more problems. The charity givers are spread thin and the parents have to work harder.
Best way to resolve the problem is a kehilla system. 10K tax per family on each family in Flatbush. You will have $100 Million each year to run your school system. Add government aid to that equation and you will have the funding. Take all the yeshivas in flatbush and consolidate under one central management board which will issue an audited financial report every year in all the jewish newspapers.
You’ll stimulate the jewish economy, solve the tuition crisis and cut out the corruption.
Rambam says a yeshiva is a chiyuv of a commmunity (not just the individual parents who send there.)
Yeshivas as a private business is a failed model.
Three comments to people above –
1)Everyone says that people aren’t machshiv torah education and that is why the rebbeim are suffering. That shows some naivete of the establishment. I never ever hear from the establishment that the charges for tuition are just simply unrealistic. The average person does not have $25K – $3OK after tax income.
2)How about some consolidation of the jewish mosdos instead of new ones opening each year and tapping into the same monies that existing mosdos are tapping into. Tell me – why do we need tzedakas that are for identical causes making duplicate chinese auctions and fundraisers.Wouldn’t it be so much better if there was one organization instead of two?
3)How about trying out a kehilla system in flatbush? 10 thousand families contribute 10K a year to a fund instead of tuition and then you have 100Million a year. That’s not enough to run a school system and camp system? That will stimulate the jewish economy by taking the burden off of parents who have to pay 4 times that amount.
