A recent article by Rabbi Aryeh Klapper, Dean of the Center for Modern Torah Leadership (MA), introduces the issue of pricing as a moral issue.1 Rabbi Klapper suggests that Jewish communities should view their widespread consternation about rising costs as less of a “money issue” and more one of “moral costs.” He notes, for example, that large numbers of Jewish parents feel they are being increasingly forced into an impossible-to-solve conundrum: financially ruinous tuition levels for their children, on the one hand, versus their deeply felt moral commitment to Jewish education on the other. Those in leadership positions in Jewish day schools, thus, are pulled into an agonizing financial and moral whirlwind.
