Orthodox Union Chairman of the Board Stephen Savitsky talks with Maury Litwack, Director of State Political Affairs for OU Advocacy, about the ongoing Jewish day school tuition crisis.

The two discuss what the Orthodox Union and other organizations are doing to help, noting specific examples of innovative solutions such as start-up yeshivas, voucher programs and charter schools already up around the country—can the other schools gain enough fiscal insight to reverse the current trend of financial distress in Jewish communities?


Savitsky Talks is a weekly 20 minute audio program with interviews and discussions that probe and explore contemporary Jewish life. Stephen Savitsky’s unusually direct and objective approach make this program a refreshing take on the Jewish community’s often challenging role in the world.
