Yiddish POV

I believe the phrase "the wonderfully enchanting, yet almost extinct, language of Yiddish" may violate the neutral POV doctrine; not everyone thinks that Yiddish is wonderfully enchanting. Also, what is the source for Yiddish being an almost extinct language? I think this article would benefit from citing the sources of its claims.Witheygull (talk) 06:36, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Day school

Are we sure that it's called a "day school" cause they stay all day? I really don't know, but I feel like a "day school" is called such because students are not living on campus, they go home every day and sleep in their own beds at home. Again, I don't really know anything about it for SURE, but there seems to not be a source and from my secular experience, that's what a day school is. Just thought I'd chime in thanks :) 204.84.244.1 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:22, 23 July 2009 (UTC).

A Jewish day school is not a Hebrew school

Technically, a Jewish day school is NOT a "Hebrew school" (although it is a "school, for 'Hebrews' i.e. for Jews" in manner of speaking) since "Hebrew school" is used to describe afternoon schooling. The term "day school" is widely used for hundreds of such schools set up mostly after WWI. While "Hebrew school" refers to the afternoon school-type education given to children who attend secular non-Jewish public schools. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 04:43, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Eleven Year olds don't start schools

If Frances Sussna was born in 1933, and Torah Umesorah was founded in 1944, then Ms. Sussna could not have done something BEFORE the 1944 date. At best she did something different, but not in the indicated category.

moved 1933-born's accomplishment here

The Modern Hebrew Day School, founded by Dr. Frances Sussna, was the first independent Jewish day school founded in the United States.

(She was born 1933, hence she didn't do something BEFORE a 1944 accomplishment. Eleven Year olds don't get grants to start schools)
