TUITION: The History, Struggle and Triumph of Jewish Day Schools in America

By Yitzhak Salomon

By 1918, three million Jews resided in America. At the time, only about 1,300 American Jewish youths were enrolled in full-time Jewish education! * * * The 1950s saw a surge of enrollment in full-time Jewish education. In the 21st century, nearly 300,000 Jewish children are enrolled in Yeshivot and Jewish Day Schools across America. Despite the challenges of steep TUITION costs and many other obstacles,clearly, we are witnessing a revolution in the attitude of American Jewry in their willingness to go the extra mile to arm the younger generation with a meaningful Torah education. * * * What and who made all this happen? All the answers are packed into the narrative of this book. * * * "Whether the Jewish people or the rest of the world, or both, like it or not -- the Jews are God's chosen people. However, as clearly illustrated by history, the Jewish people were NOT chosen for privileges, but rather for challenges." * * *
