I sit by my computer in tears, thinking to myself is this really true? Is this really happening to me? To us? Take “me” out of the picture. Let’s talk about the ‘us’.

First I thought I was alone, it was my pain my suffering, maybe I did not raise my children right, maybe I did not get involved enough in the yeshivas, their education. Maybe I was too stressed trying to pay the bills earn a living that I neglected my children. Maybe it is entirely my fault.

Then I spoke to this parent quietly and then I spoke to that one, and I realized it is not just me there are many who suffer as I do. But we all suffer quietly blaming our selves. There are many children being destroyed and ruined. And by whom? By the ones we entrust their education to. By the ones we pay with our hard earned money, by the ones that are called “educators and roish hayeshivas” and so on.
