For a lot of those with money that they could donate, they expect to get a big building with their name prominently on it so that everyone can see what they gave. Wonder sometimes if it's about giving tzedaka at all or is it about puffing your name up in public.Raenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-31592108602945840412011-06-21T09:22:00.064-04:002011-06-21T09:22:00.064-04:00senior day care is big business and there are loca...senior day care is big business and there are local shuls that are already involved in it.<br /><br />benefit in the schools is free volunteer labor for tutoring, teachers assistants, etc.<br /><br />ANON:<br /><br />"Why do they all have to be located separately to begin with?"<br /><br />there is no king without a castle<br /><br />PROFK:<br /><br />"Most schools offer a lunch program to their students"<br /><br />the trend, at least in MO schools, is to do away with in-house kitchens and instead use outside food vendors. generally these are local eateries, which means that kids eat better (and more expensive) lunches than their parents.<br /><br />LEAHLE:<br /><br />"Never seen that ramp in my kids schools either and ditto no elevator"<br /><br />really? don't schools, particularly new buildings, have to be handicapped compliant?Abba's Rantingshttp://abbasrantings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-35660917083432318832011-06-21T08:59:45.534-04:002011-06-21T08:59:45.534-04:00Posting made me wonder again why we jews have to h...Posting made me wonder again why we jews have to have so many separate buildings. Agree that we have to have shuls and schools and other types of programs. Why do they all have to be located separately to begin with? Would make more sense to have built one very large jewish community building and put everything in there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-47260477251089168062011-06-20T11:28:09.433-04:002011-06-20T11:28:09.433-04:00Many seniors volunteer.

Never seen that ramp in my kids schools either and ditto no elevator. Programs there could only be for seniors that are completely able to walk up and down stairs.<br /><br />My mom is not an older senior but when she comes to us getting up the shul's steps and up to the ezras noshim are a real climb for her. Seniors with walking issues would have trouble in our shul.leahlenoreply@blogger.com
