Biden’s Abysmal Economy Starting to Crush Yeshivas and Parents

A Jewish man and a child stand on a street in a Jewish quarter in Williamsburg Brooklyn in New York City on April 24, 2019. - A New York county hit by a measles outbreak declared a state of emergency in March 2019 and banned non-vaccinated minors from public places in a bid to prevent the once-eliminated disease from spreading. Vaccinations are in theory required to go to school in the United States, but 47 of the 50 states -- including New York -- allow exemptions, notably for religious reasons. In New York, an Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn has been hardest hit. They were infected by visitors from Israel, where an outbreak of measles began a year ago.

MONSEY (VINnews) — As inflation skyrockets, it is no surprise that Yeshivas are struggling to meet their expenses.

VIN has obtained an email sent by a Monsey yeshiva to its parent body, informing them of a “meaningful increase” in next year’s tuition. The yeshiva attributed the tuition hike to a $2 million budget increase due to “macro-economic factors”.

The yeshiva said that the hike “reflects only a small percentage of our massively increased costs. Our budget has increased by nearly $2,000,000 due to macro-economic factors as well as increased overhead and expenses.”

Thank you President Biden.

To the yeshiva’s credit, it is bearing the brunt of the massive increase in overhead and expenses through fundraising efforts, and is only passing a small fraction onto the parents.

7%? That parent body is lucky. I live in a different heavily predominantly Orthodox city and both my boys and girls school are raising tuition by between 17% & 19%, while my salary from last year decreased about the same amount. This is not easy for people like myself already struggling as it is.

The Biden administration is the best. More food stamps and welfare. If prices go up too, well, Joe is an old man, he can’t control everything.

VIN News is really informative. Thank you for enlightening us as to what is really going on in the world. Thank you for letting us know that Biden is senile and hides in his basement yet he has complete control over global markets and has implemented an elaborate, sinister and manipulative plan to create shortages and raise prices worldwide in order to cause pain to parents of Yeshiva students because liberals hate religion.

No reason for everyone to have separate moisdos. Especially in Monsey lets all join the free public schools.

Biden is in concert with YAFFED. If you can’t do it legislatively, hit them in the pocket.

Just one more reason of why any “frum” Jew that voted for this senile stubborn fool not be allowed to enter a shul, participate in any communal events, and no one, especially prominent rabbis, be allowed to partake in any simcha they make.

The increase is mostly because. Of the torah umesora salary increase campaign, as well as workers have the upper hand . Most yeshiva did very well during covid

I am willing to replace this President with a Republican, who is conservative, but one who is well versed in policy. Hickenlooper or Hogan. Maybe Haley.

This is a global phenomenon… not Biden or the dems fault. Repugs thanks to McConnell voted down all dems healthcare, childcare, family leave help. Trumps tax cut hurt all but the top 1% billionaires. Stop your lies!!

So you blame “Biden’s” economy while ignoring this is a worldwide issue and ignoring the contributions that Trump has to the current economic reality. But fine.

What is not fine is your inability to read, which is simply amazing.

The very letter you post says the budget increased, “due to macro-economic factors as well as increased overhead and expenses.”

Nothing in the letter explains what part of the increase is due to the macro-economic factors and what part is due to increased overhead and expenses.

And yet, VIN, feels a need to make this into a political issue, because apparently news is not about reporting on the facts but about offering your opinion, regardless of how lacking the substance is.

Really pathetic.

Thanks VIN for your very insightful Protocols of the Elder Biden.

Inflation is up across the globe but it must all be due to sinister Biden. Gas is more expensive in Canada, Europe, Israel than the US but that is Biden’s fault. The US economy is stronger than China’s but that is Biden’s fault. Wheat shortages in Africa that is Biden’s fault. Full employment causing worker shortages that is also Biden’s fault. Everything bad in the world is Biden’s fault

Never mind that it was Trump that pumped the US economy with stimulus money and pushed for additional 2k checks for all. Never mind that it was Trump that appointed Powell to the fed and that it was Powell who was slow to see the inflation issue. Never mind that Trump howeled for the fed to keep on lowering interest rates and that under Trump refinery capacity lagged. Never mind that it was Trump that cut immigration that only exasperates worker shortages.

The point is that the global economy is complicated especially post COVID. The above article is just sadly pathetic and childish.

Why the fallacious headline? Why your agenda with Biden? Is he to blame for the Saudis cutting back on production a year ago in order to raise prices and make up for the money not generated during Covid-times when people weren’t working or driving very much? Is Biden to blame for people having pent up demand for cars, houses and expensive vacations that weren’t available during Covid? Is Biden to blame for Trump’s increase in tariffs on Chinese goods? Is Biden to blame because the federal courts have ruled that many of Trump’s attempts to curb the influx of illegal aliens were blatantly unconstitutional?

Biden is clearly not the most competent of people, but at least her wouldn’t try to prevent a duly-elected government from replacing him in two more years if that’s what the voters want. On the other hand, Trump – an arrogant, narcissistic egomaniac with little regard for the law had no problems encouraging sedition to prevent his successor from taking office.
Is that whom you really want back in 2024? HaShem yishmor….

President Biden just called me and asked me to tell you “You are most welcome”. Also, if you are just going to grumble and complain all the time about how terrible things are in this country you are most welcome to leave and go to greener pastures, I hear the holy land of Israel calling you. I remember quite vividly whenever anyone would complain on this site when trump was president that the overwhelming response was if you don’t like it then get out of the country. What is good for the goose… Now to be serious, while I agree things are terrible and shreklech these days as far as the economy and the state of morality and deceny and selfishness and a myriad of other issues in this country, I don’t see how pointing fingers and whining and blaming the other side and shouting people down and behaving like a little child and attacking people on social media is going to bring about any solution or resolution. Why don’t you be the change you want in the world instead of being snarky and sarcastic and kvetchy and crying for the days of yesteryear?
