[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I hope not. I enroll my kids in a jewish school because I want them to make predominantly jewish friends, and to be in an environment where jewish people are the majority.[/quote]

That doesn’t mean it has to be 100% Jewish.  What is wrong with you.  Seriously.[/quote]

My kids are at JDS.  The Jewish component is the reason I send them there.  It means my kid can play baseball on Sundays.  It means my kids will be able to have kosher or vegetarian options at school functions, play dates, etc.  It means school events are not scheduled on Shabbat.  It means no school on the holidays and enjoying a late start after YK.

Every year parents complain that they are not jewish but they’ve enrolled their child in the JCC preschool.  They are annoyed with all of the closures due to the holidays.  They are annoyed by the no meat rules.  The reasons they are annoyed are the reasons I choose to sent my kids to a jewish school.

I can’t imagine a non jewish person wanted to study Toshba.  I love that my kids celebrated all of their friends bar/bat mitzvah.  I love that they have minyan in school.  In the lower school, music was interwoven with the prayers.  There is so much of the day devoted to Judaism.  [/quote]
