Why is funding Jewish education so important?
A thorough, serious Jewish education is the foundation for a Jew to appreciate one’s Jewishness and play his/her vital role in society. A Jewish education is as basic to one’s Jewish identity as a secular education is to success in one’s career. We understand that ‘the best defense is a good offense’. And intensive, thorough Jewish education is our offense and is our best defense against long-term assimilation and the destruction of the Jewish identity.
