[quote=Anonymous]I would consider a Jewish preschool for a non Jewish student, but I would not consider it beyond that. I think CESJDS is a wonderful school. I am at Milton Gottesman Jewish Day frequently in the evenings for my child's sports practice, with a league who uses space there.

The community seems absolutely wonderful and the students I've encountered are bright and curious, however, Judaism is such a part of life there that I cannot imagine wanting my child to feel like such an outsider for not being Jewish.

I don't think that our family would be unwelcomed, but I just don't see the point in sending a non Jewish child to a place that is intentionally designed to be for the Jewish community. Frankly, I almost feel like it would be rude and intrusive. It is a special place for Jewish children and families to have a home base, teach their children their faith (along with all the normal academic work), provide them with a Jewish community. I am not Jewish, so I don't think it would be my place to try to go there. [/quote]
