The High Quality of Jewish Day School Education

Jan 11, 2012 | The Wire

We know that day school education plays a pivotal role in nurturing a deep Jewish identity in our children. It’s also a critical part of ensuring a strong Jewish future – our Federation’s top priority. In fact, over 1,000 students whose families need help with day school tuition received over $1.9 million in financial aid from us last year. But if you haven’t considered enrolling your children in a Jewish day school, you may not realize the high quality of the academics and enrichment activities these schools provide. That’s why we encourage you to watch this short video produced by our Federation’s primary partner in formal Jewish education, BJE, which captures the special character and contribution to Jewish life that day schools foster. Take a few minutes, so that you can hear the voices and see the faces of students, parents and teachers currently involved in Jewish education in L.A. Then, let us know what you think.
