A few months ago, just before the winter set in, I shared a socially distanced cup of coffee with one of my congregants. We’ve been close friends for years, so he got straight to the point. “I work hard to support my family and to live the Modern Orthodox life. Yeshiva tuition is very expensive, but I pay it; I know it’s important. But now my oldest is going to college, and I don’t know what I’m going to do. The University of Michigan costs over $75,000 a year!”
It’s a conversation I’ve had more than a few times over the years, as the obscenely high cost of college in America climbs ever higher. But with so many members of our community out of work because of the pandemic, it’s time to talk more openly about alternatives for our children. More specifically, it’s time to think about going home for college to Israel!
