May 20, 2022 | 19 Iyar, 5782 | | Dear friend, We are coming to you with an urgent request. The NYS Education Department recently released new, proposed Substantial Equivalency Regulations for nonpublic schools. These regulations, which have been submitted to the Board of Regents for approval, can present a serious challenge to the ability of our Yeshivos to mechanech your children according to our mesorah. The Problem: The NYS Education Department recently released new, proposed Substantial Equivalency Regulations for nonpublic schools. These regulations, which have been submitted to the Board of Regents for approval, can present a serious challenge to the ability of yeshivos to be mechanech our children according to our mesorah. The Request: Make your voice heard to help save yeshivos! Will that help? Im yirtzeh Hashem, yes! The last draft of the regulations received an unprecedented 140,000 comments, with the overwhelming majority in opposition. This resulted in an over 2-year deferral of the regulations, forced NYSED and the Board of Regents to seriously engage with the community in a variety of public and private meetings, and resulted in several positive changes to the regulations. However, the dangers to our Yeshiva community remain severe, and we cannot remain silent. We MUST do it again! Why does my voice matter? We have until the end of May to comment on these regulations! This is our LAST CHANCE before the Board of Regents votes on it in September and the regulations go into effect. Therefore, it is imperative that we use this opportunity to express our objections to these regulations. Whether you have a child in yeshiva in New York State, are a New York State yeshiva graduate yourself, or you are just concerned – as we all should be – with the precedent these regulations will set, you are a concerned stakeholder, and you have a right and obligation to make your voice heard. YOUR OPINION MATTERS! Who else can help? In addition to your own letters, please encourage your spouse, children and relatives to submit separate letters! Their voices are critical to the success of this campaign. How do I make my voice heard?
