WRONG: That's not an accurate description of kids who attend Jewish & religious schools.They don't cater to "elite" "privileged" demographics. PA is special because scholarship programs actually level the playing field and give kids the chance to be at all kinds of schools.
TEFILLOT NEEDED: Our thoughts are with Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, where hostages are being held. We call on all to please recite Tehillim and we hope and pray for a peaceful outcome.

My friend Wasi is correct—we can do more to protect vulnerable citizens. The anti-hate crimes legislative package we called for today would help form a Commonwealth closer to the unity and tolerance William Penn envisioned.

Since the #TreeofLife shooting, #Pittsburgh has seen a year of mourning. The community has also, by coming together and finding national and international support, seen a year of healing. Read our retrospective: https://t.co/PP7VXVkxiY
It's the Hundred-Bar Mitzvah for the PA Capitol! Our students get to see THEIR house when they go on the Teach PA Mission to Harrisburg and bring THEIR voices to the magnificent building! #TeachPA#mazaltov
Thrilled to be at REACH @PASchoolChoice’s premiere EITC workshop. Packed house of partners talking about students, education, poverty, future. #OttoBanks#EITC
"If we want our state legislature to include all students in the provision of funding for security protection, then we need to speak up and show up."

Today is the 100th Anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which finally granted women the right to vote. It was a long-fought battle by brave suffragettes but now America is a better country & democracy thanks to women's voices and votes #PAWomenSuffrage100
Yesterday I attended a press conference to support SB 676: the Tolerance, Respect, and Understanding Program. This will provide non-profit organizations with funding for various security measures in order to prevent hate based atrocities like the Tree of Life Synagogue attack.
Amazing public policy out of PA “EITC currently helps over 50,000 low-and-moderate-income students attend the schools of their choice, and over 40% of Jewish day school students receive a scholarship as a result of the EITC program.” @ArielleFM
I’m proud to stand on the steps of the Pennsylvania State House representing the @OrthodoxUnion, advocating for safe, well-funded education with many partners from the Christian, Muslim and Jewish community.
Hundreds of PA students called for security funding to protect schools. Security has been on the minds of parents and staff for “a long time, but after Pittsburgh, you can’t ignore it, it’s just in your face.” @ArielleFM h/t @jewishinsider https://t.co/57kxD7Lj5i
