Summary

97% of Orthodox Jews consider tuition to be the number one challenge of living as an Orthodox Jew, according to a Nishmas study.

In a first of many upcoming Tuition episodes, Kosher Money was privileged to pick the brain of Rabbi Heshy Glass, the founding national chairman of the Consortium of Jewish Day Schools, and is a longtime educator with over 35 years of experience overseeing both elementary and high schools across the country. He has trained and taught over 60 day school principals.
