Cincinnati’s Children Deserve the Best in Education

March 4, 1996 — Adar 13, 5756

Once again the Greater Cincinnati Board of Rabbis strongly endorses an issue relating to the education of our children. If we are sincerely concerned with and committed to the well-being of our community and its future, we must renew Issue 2.

Doing so will simply maintain the current level of funding for our schools without any increase to our taxes.

The Cincinnati Public Schools cannot afford any cuts because our children need and deserve the very best and most complete education possible.

As in the past, we view this matter not as a political issue but as a religious/ethical one.

"To teach our children diligently" (Deuteronomy 6:7) is a responsibility which we are obligated to meet in many ways. Certainly, one of these is to vote for Issue 2.

As we eagerly anticipate Spring and the hope it brings, let us reaffirm our commitment to helping our children blossom and grow.

Let this commitment lead us to action in supporting education in general and specifically, in this season by voting for Issue 2.
