c. 2013 Religion News Service

(RNS) To keep younger Jews connected to Judaism, two top Jewish leaders are pushing free Jewish preschool for every Jewish family in the U.S. and Canada — what they call a “Jewish Head Start.”

The idea is to remove financial barriers that might prevent Jewish families from seeking out a Jewish preschool, and to instill in the youngest Jews a love for the Jewish faith.
