We are looking to switch from Tifereth Israel precisely because OK has a much larger religious school - and is more pro-kid than TI which skews Boomer and anti-kid. The choices you make as a parent are different than those if you were joining a synagogue as an empty nester or single person. OK has a pretty good sized Hebrew school program. Yes, there are a lot of day school families and Israeli families who prefer MoEd to Hebrew school - but there are enough families with young kids to have a good-sized Hebrew school.
