Rabbi Jordan Soffer (’16) on the cost of Jewish Day School education

August 21, 2019

“No frills is a euphemism for no differentiation. Small class sizes and individualized instruction means more teachers, which means more salaries. Providing the type of support that helps learners of divergent interests and abilities thrive is, simply put, expensive. Students are different, and learn differently, and Jewish day schools have a responsibility to engage each and every student.”

In this Lehrhaus piece, To Ensure Excellence in Jewish Education, Invest in Jewish Day Schools, Jordan Soffer, ’16, addresses what’s behind Day School tuition costs and why they are worth the investment.

Two greyed-out hands, each holding a puzzle piece towards the other. The puzzle pieces are the same shape, a squarish middle section with 2missing circular sections on opposite sides and 2 outward jutting circular sections on the other two sides. The puzzle pieces are oriented towards each other so that they would fit, the left piece is rotated so that the jutting out sides are horizontal and the right piece is rotated so that the missing sections are horizontal.

Photograph of meat being grilled. Most of the image is taken up by a piece of what might be chicken breast, its mostly light in color but is clearly fully cooked with many splotches of dark reddish-brown to black coloring, including about 9 dark vertical grill lines. To its left are two other cooking pieces of meat that are slightly blurred. They also appear to be poultry but are much redder in hue and one appears to have a skewer sticking out of the bottom horizontally. The meat is cooking on top of a grill grate with black metal bars in horizontal rows making up the surface of the grill. Below the bars are grey coals with an orange glow emanating from beneath them.Rabbi Jacob Siegel ensures that investors do not promote religious discrimination and instead reflect their values
