Talk:JFS (school)

message: JFS has recently been the centre of much attention in the UK Jewish media, particularly the Jewish Chronicle, because the son of a woman who converted to Judaism was not accepted by JFS. However, this was not due to the school's own policy, but because the London Beth Din - the local religious authority - refused to recognise the mother's conversion. After Rabbi Jonathan Sacks (the Chief Rabbi of England) pronounced the conversion unauthentic, the mother has since taken legal action against him
*I have never heard before  of anything like this. Maybe the mother was not converted properly.--Dakota t e 14:07, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

message: It is also interesting to note that the school charges a fee for (compulsory) Jewish Education and that the "free" is in name alone. Further more, the school does not offer Religious Studies until sixth form and instead teaches only Judaism, a compulsory GCSE. To 'compensate' for the lack of RS the school holds "Multifaith" seminars although these are only once a year and usually involve simply talking about the problems jews face in the world, trying to be accepted and one year a black christian came to talk to us about the problems she faced. She did not mention her religion and so many students were left asking: "Since when was being black a faith?"
While charging is unique to Jewish schools (IIRC), it is common practice amongst British faith schools to make RE about the faith they teach. This article suggests that JFS is somehow unique. The point of a faith school is that it teaches about the faith it espouses! Alexisr 11:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps it was free at some time in the past. The history coverage in the article is rather lacking. Nathanian 20:17, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is free. The JS department (and the security) is funded by parents, but they do not have to pay in order to be part of the school. The information about who pays is kept confidential. r3m0t talk 09:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I am wondering why JFS redirects here. I think it should go to the disambiguation page. Considering this article was on the brink of deletion before, I am not sure it is by far the most important use of the abbreviation "JFS" one could think of. I think the JFS disambiguation page would be the best place for "JFS" to redirect to, leaving the choice up to the reader what they meant. --elwood_j_blues (talk) 20:26, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The article currently says:
:They ruled that the mother's religious status, and thus her child's religious status, had been determined using a racial criterion rather than a religious criterion
I'm not sure that's right. From the press I've seen about it it was reported that the ruling was more like that the child's religious status had been determined from the mother's religious status, and therefore constituted a racial criterion rather than a religious criterion?
