Unfortunately Rabbi it is not true that every Jewish person can live more religiously and develop deeper roots. As long as the Yeshivot and the day schools are as expensive as they are many great souls are being literally locked out! They can't even do what Hillel did when he climbed to the roof to listen and was covered in snow. The hurdles for tuition assistance and the lack of warmth about a family's real situation continues to add to the issue you focus on here....sword or a smile, why is Jennifer marrying Napolitano....In every generation?? I ask respectfully, what are you, YU, OU, NCSY etc. doing about this issue? Chag sameach and a Zisen Pesach. Wish those of us locked out, lots of luck.
