[quote=Anonymous]There is a successful Hebrew charter school in Hollywood, FL (Ben Gamla Charter School) as well as one in New York. The following issues emerged when the schools opened: 1. Many of the enrollees were NOT Jewish, but drawn from the community. Some parents did cite a "Jewish commitment to education" as a reason for sending their kids to the school. 2. Somewhat ironically, opposition came mainly from other Jews, most of whom were involved with existing, private Hebrew academies. 3. To a certain extent is it impossible to altogether seperate language from religion. The standard greeting in Hebrew "Shalom" conveys a greeting with religious overtones. In English, we say "bless you" when someone sneezes - again a common express with religious overtones. [/quote]
