About this episode
I'm nervous to do an episode on tuition at Jewish schools and Yeshivos. It's always a loaded topic with questions and voice notes flying into my phone from passionate parents and school reps. Hopefully, this conversation with Mrs. Ahuvah Heyman, a school director of a girls' school with over 500 students, is helpful and enlightening. Mrs. Heyman can be reached at BusinessOffice@bnosyisroel.org; she also appeared in our Israel Seminary episode - https://youtu.be/DQJMmhjpcYw Here is a fantastic 22-minute podcast episode from Rabbi Moshe Walter titled "Should Charity Organizations, Shuls, and Yeshivos Publicize Their Accounting?" - https://bit.ly/TzedakaTransparency ✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 78 ✬ ► CHOMESH: "I made God a partner in my business by giving 20% to charity."
