Activists like Hanus have been raising
a ruckus in federation circles for some
time. But are people still listening?
Some communities have increased the
subsidies to the schools from federa-
tions. Locally, a special fundraising cam-
paign on behalf of the schools is even
being mooted as a possibility. But many
other communities do far less. And the
majority of kids getting some form of
Jewish education are still not in day
schools.
Some fear that the window of oppor-
tunity for galvanizing the Jewish com-
munity into decisive action on behalf of
day schools may have passed before we
even realized it was closing. The
demand to create a Jewish-education
safety net to match the social-service
safety net we have in place is one that
continues to fall on deaf ears.
Still, educators like Leberman are
optimistic. "Viewed from the perspec-
tive of only two decades ago, the day-
school movement has proved the
naysayers wrong," he says. "No one ever
believed this many schools would be
operating today. We're changing the cul-
ture.
-
Despite the many obstacles to his idea
of building a national movement for
day schools, Hanus also remains upbeat.
"This is a crisis, but I have faith we'll
ultimately do the right thing. The prob-
lem is not going to go away. It's very
simple. We must teach our children." ❑

terday must not be allowed to thwart
the hopes and needs of tomorrow, so
they have to forget the past for there to
be a future.
Roads to peace require substantial
accommodations and compromise, such
as ending the sacred status of the Israeli
settlements and the total cessation of
violence by Hamas and their allies. And
even the well-meaning partisan support-
ers outside the conflict who rally and
demonstrate and instigate for their ver-
sion of "peace and justice," however sin-
cere their efforts, must do better in dis-
tancing themselves from the history of
those two warring cultures.
Finding justification for one side's
actions in the other side's offenses is
guaranteed to continue the tragedies of
the past. The countless victims of the
region's vindictive or misguided policies
need more and deserve better.
