Yael Trusch is in conversation with Rabbi A.D. Motzen, National Director of Government Affairs for Agudath Israel of America, and Rabbi Shlomo Soroka, Director of Government Affairs for Agudath Israel of Illinois. They are discussing the newly permanent $1,700 federal scholarship tax credit that you quite literally can’t afford to ignore.

You may have heard that the “Big Beautiful Bill” signed by President Trump on July 4th included a historic provision: a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit for taxpayers who donate to educational scholarship granting organizations.

What does this mean for you? Whether you already have children in Jewish day school or have been dreaming of giving them a Jewish education but found the cost out of reach — this episode is for you. We’re breaking down how this tax credit can dramatically reduce tuition, not just for your family, but for thousands of others — at no cost to the donor.

In today’s conversation:

  • What this federal tax credit is and isn’t 
  • Who qualifies (spoiler: probably you — even if you’ve never qualified for financial aid before)
  • How schools and parents can work together to make this a success
  • And why this moment marks a paradigm shift in Jewish education funding
  • If you’ve been skeptical or confused, I think you’ll walk away inspired, informed, and deeply grateful — to our guests, to the advocates who made this happen… and ultimately, to the One orchestrating it all from above.

    This is a tax conversation you’ll actually be glad you tuned into.
