SUMMARY:YAFFED Press Conference
DESCRIPTION:YAFFED will be holding a press conference on Wednesday\, July 12 at 11:30 am\, at Tweed Courthouse (52 Chambers Street)\, in response to the recently completed 8-year investigation by the NYC Department of Education into the lack of secular education at 28 yeshivas named in our 2015 complaint.\n\n\n\n\nAfter finally completing the investigation set in motion by YAFFED’s July 2015 complaint\, the NYC Department of Education determined that 18 of the 28 yeshivas they investigated did not provide a substantially equivalent secular education.\n\n\n\n\nOf the 10 schools that did pass\, half of them only did so because of their affiliation with a registered school\, regardless of whether or not they provide any secular education. The fact that schools were given a stamp of approval by the City without being thoroughly investigated represents a severe lack of oversight.\n\n\n\n\nAdditionally\, our concern is for students of the schools that the City conclusively determined aren’t providing an education – they cannot get back the time that they lost at the hands of yeshiva leaders.\n\n\n\n\nJoin us at Tweed Courthouse on Wednesday\, July 12 at 11:30 am\, as we lay out the next steps in our fight to protect the rights of all children to receive the education that they deserve.

SUMMARY:An Unorthodox Education: Screening and Conversation with Budd Mishkin\, Beatrice Weber and Naftuli Moster
DESCRIPTION:The timely and important documentary an Unorthodox Education exposes a shocking truth largely unknown to the general public — tens of thousands of children currently attend ultra-Orthodox schools in New York that refuse to provide students with the legally-mandated general education they need to lead self-sufficient adult lives. \nThe film includes testimony from former yeshiva students and parents alike who tell their stories\, some for the very first time\, and also reveals how political leaders in New York City deliberately delayed reform efforts in return for political favors from the ultra-Orthodox community. These heartbreaking accounts illuminate the consequences of being denied instruction in subjects such as English language\, math\, science and social studies. An Unorthodox Education also captures how the rampant ignorance of science had deadly and devastating effects within so many of the Hasidic and Haredi communities as COVID-19 safety protocols were ignored or vehemently opposed. \nFollowing the screening\, veteran broadcast journalist Budd Mishkin will moderate a discussion with Naftuli Moster\, a former Hasidic yeshiva student and founder and executive director of Yaffed — a local non-profit which is leading the fight to ensure that all ultra-Orthodox and Hasidic children in America receive the basic education to which they are legally entitled — and Beatrice Weber\, an outspoken advocate and mother of ten who filed a lawsuit against NYC’s Department of Education and her son’s Hasidic yeshiva.
