"After decades of declining enrollment in non-#Orthodox #Jewish #dayschools, a new report from #Prizmah: Center for Jewish Day #Schools found enrollment is now growing across denominations.
Within Prizmah’s network of 305 Jewish day schools, which includes 122 nondenominational schools and 153 Orthodox schools, enrollment increased from 94,008 #students in the 2021-2022 school year to approximately 101,041 students in 2025-2026, marking an increase of 7,000 students, or 7.5%. In the 2025-2026 school year, overall enrollment grew by more than 1,000 students.
The report found that non-Orthodox school enrollment has increased by 3% from 2021 to 2024, while Orthodox schools have seen a 7% increase. #Reform #dayschool enrollment has also risen by 5%, reversing years of declining trends. The report marked the first time that Prizmah had reported growth across decades charting enrollment across the denominational spectrum of Jewish day schools."

I attended Chabad #dayschool as a child. I have my issues with them, for sure, but one of them is not the quality of my secular #education. When I moved to public school in 10th grade I was well-prepared, and I went on to attend the college of my choice.
These NY #yeshivot, however, are a different story. They're attempting to create here what they've successfully created in #Israel: an entire generation of adults unable to make any contribution to society whatsoever; unable to make a living anywhere outside the #haredi community; unable to speak the language of their country; unable to act as informed citizens of a #democracy; and ultimately, unable to raise children of their own who are not similarly handicapped.
Torah-observant #Jews needn't be so isolated from the greater community.
Good for #NewYork for insisting that NY children be given the opportunity to become educated, fully-participating members of society.

"Does your Jewish day school expect students to understand Yiddish terms? When learning about Jewish practices, which customs and traditions are discussed? What does “Jewish food” look like at your school?
These are some of the questions that JIMENA: Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa poses to Jewish day schools as the first stage — a self-assessment — in its Sephardi & Mizrahi Education Toolkit, a new guide released on Thursday offering “content, resources, and strategies” to better teach Sephardi and Mizrahi culture and history and to make students of all backgrounds feel more welcomed and included."

My father was born in Newfoundland before it was claimed by Canada. He was declared Canadian while he was still a baby. I only found out this year that he was in the #residentialschools or #DaySchool. His mom was Mi’kmaw/English, and his Dad was Inuk/Welsh. His Mi’kmaw grandmother lived on a reserve, but I have no idea where his Inuk grandmother came from. I was raised on the land knowing that I was “Eskimo” (Dad’s term). None of us were raised in community. We were all displaced.
