SEFA, SEPHARDIC EDUCATION FOR ALL, IS A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT UNIFYING COMMUNITY RABBIS, INSTITUTIONS, TOP LAWYERS, TAX PROFESSIONALS, AND LAY-LEADERS, ALL JOINING TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE OUR COMMON GOAL—A COMMUNITY-WIDE MEMBERSHIP THAT WILL ELIMINATE TUITION.
The program is designed to spread the cost of Torah education across the community to relieve the enormous burden on parents. Contribute $3,000 per year, per person in the family, regardless of age. (Exact amount based on community participation.) If you have four unmarried children—you and your spouse equal six people. The total would be $18,000 for everyone, which is less than the full tuition for one child. We need 60,000 members signed up to launch.
This is a fundamental change in the way our schools are funded. It will be beneficial for the parents, yeshivot, and students. Not just for today; but for future generations as well.
We need the support of everyone in the community to make this happen. It is in our own best interest to lift this burden.
So why should you sign up for SEFA even if you do not have kids in school?
If you are a young adult or a newlywed couple, paying for the membership will seem daunting but still in your best interest. When you are ready to start a family, you will be confronted with serious question:
How can I pay the $25,000 per child for their education?
How are we going to do this?
How does everyone else afford to pay for this?
This moment has happened to every parent in the community at some point, and it will continue to happen—unless we do something about it!
With SEFA, you could be the first generation that won’t experience the tuition nightmare. Now, if you’re already a parent with children in school, this is definitely for you!
We all want to give our children a yeshiva education at the highest level. We don’t want anyone to consider public school because of the high cost of tuition. We don’t have to let tuition make decisions for us anymore. By joining SEFA, we can increase each other’s quality of life by leaving the tuition crisis behind.
But how about those who are already finished paying tuition for their children?
This problem is increasing yearly. Every year tuition is up by 4%. You have already suffered the pains of paying tuition in the past.
What about your children and grandchildren? This is a problem that will not solve itself. And we have the power to solve this now for all future generations.
Even if no hero stepped forward and bailed you out when it was your turn, now you have the chance to be the hero and help save others. We can feel secure knowing that our children and grandchildren will get the yeshiva education they deserve.
So what should you do next?
Now that you have all this information, the next thing to do is go to getsefa.org, sign up, and spread the word by sharing this with your friends and family members.
No payment is necessary to sign up. Don’t wait to sign up. The sooner you sign up, the sooner this will be a reality.
Let’s keep the legacy alive by keeping and supporting the community together. We can be the generation that fixes the tuition crisis forever.
