Today, I’d like to continue this video series on “Making Yeshiva Tuition More Affordable”
And today, I want to focus on The Responsibility of Families:
First, they must Prioritize their spending: We spend money on things that are important to us. Unfortunately, we are all guilty, to some extent, of spending money on items that should not be high on our priority list. This may include luxury cars, streaming services, vacations, eating out, designer clothes, and a large home in an expensive part of the country. All these things are nice, but should they rank higher on your list of priorities than ensuring your children receive a proper Jewish education?
I assume that for many people watching this, a yeshiva education ranks at the top of your list. Therefore, other items must be sacrificed. When you recognize what your priorities are, it makes it easier to direct your cash flow to these areas, like paying your tuition bill in full, and eliminating spending on others.
In the next video, I’ll discuss the responsibility of the community in making Yeshiva tuition more affordable.
