Why Is Jewish Tuition So Expensive?! A School Director Opens Up


Listen Later

I'm nervous to do an episode on tuition at Jewish schools and Yeshivos.


It's always a loaded topic with questions and voice notes flying into my phone from passionate parents and school reps.


Hopefully, this conversation with Mrs. Ahuvah Heyman, a school director of a girls' school with over 500 students, is helpful and enlightening.


Mrs. Heyman can be reached at [email protected]; she also appeared in our Israel Seminary episode - https://youtu.be/DQJMmhjpcYw


Here is a fantastic 22-minute podcast episode from Rabbi Moshe Walter titled "Should Charity Organizations, Shuls, and Yeshivos Publicize Their Accounting?" - https://bit.ly/TzedakaTransparency
