New York Ends Funding for 2 Yeshivas That Fail to Teach Basic Skills

New York Ends Funding for 2 Yeshivas That Fail to Teach Basic Skills

After years of allegations and investigations, the state of New York has finally taken a bold step in holding two Hasidic Jewish schools accountable for denying children a proper education. The New York State Education Department has made the decision to cut off funding for two all-boys Hasidic schools in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and will be relocating all students to different schools by the fall.

This move marks a significant milestone in the efforts to address the longstanding issue of schools within the Hasidic community failing to provide a sufficient secular education. The yeshivas in question, Yeshiva Talmud Torah of Kasho and Yeshiva Bnei Shimon Yisroel of Sopron, have been found to be non-compliant with education laws mandating that all children receive a well-rounded education, including secular subjects.

The state’s decision to withhold funding from these schools comes after a lengthy process of attempting to work with the schools to improve their educational standards. Despite numerous opportunities to engage with education officials and develop a plan for improvement, the leaders of these yeshivas chose not to participate in the process, leading to the ultimate consequence of losing government funding.

The resistance to outside oversight from the Hasidic community, which wields significant political influence, has been a major obstacle in addressing this issue. The insular nature of the community’s yeshivas, which prioritize religious teachings in Yiddish and Hebrew over secular subjects like English and math, has created a challenging environment for enforcing educational standards.

The investigation into these yeshivas was prompted by complaints from former students who felt ill-equipped to navigate the world after graduating. Inspections of the schools revealed a lack of instruction in core academic subjects like English, history, mathematics, and science, further highlighting the need for intervention.

While some within the Hasidic community may view the state’s actions as unwarranted, it is clear that the priority should be ensuring that all children receive a comprehensive education that prepares them for the future. This decision serves as a wake-up call for other schools that may be disregarding essential academic standards, and underscores the importance of upholding educational integrity for all students.
