Jewish Day School Education
Moral Imperative
Education always has been a cornerstone of Jewish living. It is our responsibility as a Jewish People to provide a comprehensive and integrated Jewish learning environment for the next generation.
There is a clear and direct relationship between a Jewish day school education and the desire to maintain a Jewish life…Funding Jewish education... is every Jew's cause. (George Hanus, World Jewish Digest)
The majority of people who currently identify themselves as Jews will not pass on their heritage to their children.... There is finally a dawning recognition that Jewish continuity and survival cannot be sustained in what has been an American lifestyle devoid of serious Jewish education and Jewish living. ("Will Your Grandchildren be Jewish?" Anthony Gordon and Richard Horowitz, World Jewish Digest)
For over 3000 years we have survived and flourished against all odds. In the next 25 years we stand to lose more Jews to assimilation than we lost in the Holocaust… Learning is accessible now more than ever. Once you know who you are, where you come from, what meaning the past has for your future, you bring great meaning into your life, and when you do that, you bring great meaning into the world.
