You hear the same complaint at the start of every school year: The cost of tuition for Jewish day school is a burden many Jewish families can’t afford.
This complaint is understandable. With tuition at many New York-area day schools hovering above $20,000 a year (and some approaching $30,000), a Jewish education seems more like a luxury than a staple of Jewish life.
The so-called tuition crisis has not fallen on deaf ears.
