Another one bites the dust....just a few billion dollars...nothing much..
How does this effect the Silver Spring Community?...and forget about other cities because frankly they do not even know we exist.
Well for starters there has been mention that the Federation has lost a nice sum of money. This will definitely effect school budgets all around the Greater Washington area.
On top of all that is the poor economy that has strapped every ones wallet to their pocket.
BUT WAIT!!! I HAVE A GREAT IDEA!!
LET'S RAISE MONEY FOR A MIKVA!!
Now would be the perfect time when things are rosy!
Schools need to start reconsidering their fundraising or methods of cutting costs and raising money now!!
I truly hope that the intention of the fundraisers and Boards of the schools think about the future of TORAH in community and not lining their own pockets with percentages, bonuses, and raises.
I think now is a better time then ever to approach our local government for assistance as we are paying a seat for each of our children in the local public schools and not getting anything in return. We need to ask parents to advocate and take any measures necessary to push the county in providing more assistance. Why not consider sending our children to schools in the community and opening up Jewish Day programs in the afternoon? Advocate for buses, supplies. Conceptualize the idea of having a public school filled with Jewish children. Perhaps have teachers who currently teach English apply for positions at the various public schools.
I think schools need to be creative and aggressive with the county.
I would like to hear your thoughts, any??

That!....I wont sign!
what kind of petition would you sign??
YOU wrote "lets start a petition" Go read what the other petitions were about since you probably never did(and you only speak because you like hearing your voice/seeing your words) and make a petition that is similar in nature and you will get my signature.....
