My mother came to America in the 1920s. Her parents had no money. They sent her to public school and Talmud Torah in the afternoon. Her Hebrew education was top notch. She was able to read Ivrit and understand. She knew her chumash, her halachot and she knew how to daven. She knew it all. She never attended Hebrew high school.

So perhaps Rabbi Frankel’s suggestion (“Think Outside the Box,” June 4, 2020) to make use of the public school system with Limudei Kodesh for the afternoon is an idea worth pursuing. In light of the difficult financial situation facing many in our community, perhaps this is a worthy alternative. As we know, the home environment serves as the best classroom for focusing on the importance of davening and Torah and mitzvot.
