Day schools deserve stable funding Jewish day schools, like other Jewish institutions, are scrambling for money.
Day schools seem to be a panacea to assimilation.
And if they were more widespread and affordable, a much larger percentage of Jewish parents would enroll their children. That's about twice the national average. Yet federation annual campaigns across the country certainly aren't growing exponentially. Some have suggested that federations hold back more money from Israel to help with day school scholarships. That's a tough call.
