The Cost of Jewish Education [Jewish Education 4/4]

This series is sponsored by Ari and Danielle Schwartz in memory of Danielle’s grandfather, Mr. Baruch Mappa, Baruch Ben Asher Zelig HaLevi.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to three different advocates for affordable Jewish education about the state of the tuition crisis.

While it is a sensitive subject to discuss, the cost of Jewish education remains one of the most vital issues at play in Jewish life today, as passing on a Torah education to the next generation is of the utmost importance.
  • Why is Jewish education so expensive?
  • How exactly does the process of providing financial aid work?
  • What large-scale measures can be taken to attack the tuition crisis?
Tune in to hear a conversation about how we can be more effective in our effort to provide a Torah education for all Jewish children.
