If the wealthy amongst us would get together and refuse to give another penny to a school until their books were opened, things might look different.
ReplyDelete'Owners' of schools need to learn that they are Gabba'im, not owners. If they leave their jobs, the buildings and assets are not theirs. They belong to the children and their parents.
They need to know that they cannot collect money and then take a profit.
They will never let you see their books. 2 guesses why..
DeleteBut You don't need to see the their books to know that tuition from every 15 girls or 22 boys fully cover one classes expenses

Are you saying they will prefer to give up on the donations of the rich not to show their books?
DeleteIf gvirim stop giving, tuition goes up. The owners still get theirs, and we the parents pay more.
DeleteNot a smart idea.
there have been more then one philanthropist that have questioned how is it that after tuition they dont have extra money.
DeleteSome have offered substantial donations if they see the books first.
There has been no one that succeeded in getting clear answers.
Anon 1:57 - they charge as much tuition as they can. If they could charge more, they would. It has nothing to do with how much money they can pull from Gevirim.
DeleteEvery yungerman should open their own books and bank accounts before gevirim donate the yungerleit. Are the yungerleit really poor? After all their tuition breaks, zero taxes, government programs, lots of side income, the shver, why are they so poor?? Lets see the books!
DeleteWhy do yungeleit need to open their books? They aren't demanding anything from anyone.
DeleteBut fyi, even if a Yungerman is rich, it is a zechus for the rich person to give money to someone learning. The money given to schools, is money to make a rich powerful person richer and more powerful.
The yungerleit aren't asking for anything? How about tuition breaks???
DeleteAnon 4:30 - you are thinking backwards. The yungeleit don't receive tuition breaks, they are charged the correct price. They just don't make profit for the mesiras nefesh school owner. They aren't taking a thing from the Tzibbur at all.
DeleteIf anyone follows this thread, he will see an unbelievable point. The complaints against the school owners are deflected with people's inbuilt שנאת התורה and denigration of those who dedicate their lives to learning. That is how these choshuve mesiras nefeshdige askanim get away with their shenanigans - through שנאת התורה. Of course, these people love Yeshivos, and support Yeshivos and hold of Yeshivos, but only because Yeshivos also have offices. ANd especially if those Yeshivos have business wings. But the actual Yungerman sitting and learning is an object of hatred in their eyes.
Youngeleit dont get tuition breaks no one gets that in Lakewood
DeleteDisgusting, arrogant, hateful and most ignorant comment I've read.
Delete"lots of side income" are you joking or just poking fun? However little they may be getting from sticking in another morning Kolel or another night Kolel or maybe offering to help your son do his homework and sometimes actually shaping him up - you consider that a lot? You consider that side income All the 24 hour running around to try to make ends meet after a month may not even come close to your weekly income with plenty of time left u your disposal to comment here.
And btw I don't think by Yungerman would have a problem explaining why he does not have money. And box straightforward non hating informed person can also.
But go ahead and stereotype the Amudei Oilam with the Torah learning haters views. Shame on you. Utterly shameful. Utterly disgraceful.
This week’s Yated at page 148 reported on the committee members planning to hand out more 35-year property tax breaks to certain individuals.
ReplyDeleteThe committee already voted on the first reading this comes after the committee and MUA got huge raises wink wink
DeleteWhat can we do about this sick corruption? I'm ready to become an activist
DeleteU can start w using ur name lol
DeleteThe entire premise for a tax break for that lot is based entirely on lies. That the they want to exempt is a newly created lot, that was always part of the Albert residential neighborhood.
DeleteCOVID state of emergency is over, yet the committee meetings are still virtual. Ask yourself why?
Deletethat was pretty quick coventry for 249k to 450k. buyers remember you can ask for 10 million but the proof is in the pudding at closing how much it was actually sold for.(assuming no shady business).
ReplyDeletegood luck to all the buyers and sellers out there
I saw that also. Did the house really sell for that much? I flipped when I saw the listed asking price. If ppl bought then it's our own fault that house prices wont go down. In a way we cause the demand by buying at these prices and when one person does it others follow. If ppl stop buying maybe prices will go down a little bit.
DeletePeople are trying to get $650,000 in West Gate for a town house.
DeleteDid anyone get it?
