This past legislative session was difficult for ensuring that yeshivas are held accountable to teaching a general education to their students. There were two close calls which almost resulted in a serious rollback of the substantial equivalency enforcement, the mechanism through which the state department of education has to hold these schools accountable. We came very close to seeing all the hard work done over the last several years be systematically erased in one fell swoop driven by the Governor and the NY State Assembly.  Holding the line was the Senate, and in particular one senator, Liz Krueger. Senator Krueger stood up to a lobby effort against yeshiva regulation and loudly voiced her opposition to a deal.  Her efforts were instrumental in helping us fight back the forces that persuaded our elected officials with promises of electoral support from the Hasidic community in upcoming congressional elections.

Reach out to Senator Krueger and give her your thanks. It’s a simple act but one that elected officials appreciate.  We want Senator Krueger to know that we are grateful for her support and we want her to know that we have her back.
