$45 mil Anonymous Donation to Boston's Jewish Schools!
$45 mil Anonymous Donation to Boston's Jewish Schools!
First impressions:
WOW!
This what many of us though of as the most glaring imbalance in the Jewish philanthropy. CJP, for better or for worse, the only professionally run Jewish organization in Boston poised to blaze the way and stage a grand redemption!
Actually $10 mil / 5 years (read the article) is a meager $2 mil per year. Unfortunately this is just drop in a bucket floating in an ocean of Jewish cultural illiteracy. But let's not underestimate the tremendous gift.
I am not sure if the anonymous gift is a good thing. We want to put theses people on a pedestal, they are the role models and they should serve as an example to other generous souls.
Boy, this town is up against big obstacles. High costs of real estate and yes lack of affordable Jewish schools have bled the Jewish fabric in Boston for decades.
Russian Jewish immigration, arguably an elite of the Jewish immigration to America, largely neglected for over 25 years. Many came here with enthusiasm for things Jewish, many hoped to place the kids in Jewish schools. This opportunity and I am afraid many Jews are lost forever.
But now is the time to loud this tremendous gift!
Kudos to Miriam Shaviv for pointing out the news
