Orthodox Leader Warns of Jewish Exodus to Florida If School Choice Bill Passes
‘They will lose children and families in the states of New York and New Jersey if this bill passes.’

Maury Litwack is the managing director of the Orthodox Union and the founder of a group dedicated to lobbying for government funding for non-public schools, Teach Coalition. He says Florida’s HB1, which would create education savings accounts of $7,500 for non-public school students to spend on the schools of their choice, could draw thousands of Jewish families to the Sunshine State.
