Abstract:

In this article on federation funding of congregational and supplementary schools, the author provides an overview of the financing of part-time Jewish education, noting recent developments and emerging trends. His findings indicate an increase in federation funding for these types of schools. This survey of the field will provide context for federations in the process of rethinking their stance on the funding of congregational and communal part-time education.
