In the meantime, real problems need to be solved. How can such vast resources be squandered? <br /><br />On the other hand, I have to say that the previous set-up prior to JayEffeNNaY wasn't much better. <br /><br />My beef is Jewish education. For some reason that I fail to comprehend, the majority of North American Jews, who are Conservative and Reform, ended up subsidizing Orthodox Jewish day school education. In other words, the people who need it the most subsidized it for those who need it the least. <br /><br />In the meantime, the Jewish communities across the country continued to push their exorbitant Jewish day-school fees ever higher, thus ensuring that while the well-to-do who could afford it and the not-well-to-do who could receive significant subsidies were able to send their children, the much larger middle and upper middle class Jews had to choose between Jewish schooling and their mortgage. This, by the way, remains true today. <br /><br />The consequences? The consequences are that the Orthodox are doing fine, thank you very much, but the vast majority of Jewish North American children do not and have not received a Jewish education but live in a world where they are always a significant minority - even in major Jewish cities like NYC, LA and Toronto. They are influenced to dismiss Jewish life every single day. <br /><br />Didn't and doesn't anybody realize this is the most important aspect of Jewish life in North America? Didn't anybody think about what happens when there are many fewer self-identified or affiliated Jews because they received little or no Jewish education? Didn't anybody realize that one day the future would be here? It's here. <br /><br />Signed,<br />Distraught Jewish FatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-44676169757396189152011-02-16T13:38:09.898-06:002011-02-16T13:38:09.898-06:00How about that oldie, but goodie, zero based budge...How about that oldie, but goodie, zero based budgeting?
