I'm sure that many of you are wondering why on earth the domain name of this site is 'Paymykidstuition.com'? Obviously confessionsofanorthodoxjewishdad.com would have been a more obvious, albeit longer choice, but I originally got this domain for a whole other project - which may or may not ever come to fruition.
I am using it for this blog for two main reasons:
- As a young Orthodox Jewish Professional with small kids, it seems that any Shabbat meal conversation involving people at a similar stage in life revolves around the topic of what one friend calls - 'Jewish Birth Control' - i.e. the high cost of a Jewish Education.
- I am a firm believer in the fact that education, especially the religious kind, starts at the home. A brightest child in the best school will not be able to reach his or her fullest potential without positive reinforement in the home. That being said, my thoughts are in effect paying my kids tuition in the sense that they are making their religious education worthwhile, as I am backing up what is preached in school with my actions.
Of course, this domain also fit better than any of the others I own - imagine I put this on voipfor.biz?
