[Music] we're here to talk about a very important and relevant topic that affects everyone in our community tuition about a year ago a group of dedicated individuals got together to try to tackle this problem and they came up with the concept sifa sephardic education for all the idea of sifur is basically a community-wide membership to get everybody in the community on board to eradicate tuition the course to educate all of the children in our community right now is about 180 million dollars we've built all these organizations and it's coming out beautiful shoes beautiful rabbis tremendous tremendous infrastructure and you know we need to sustain it this is the one big problem that we have and we are going to solve it sephardic education for all is an idea a brainchild of a rabbi in the community through the idea of the rabbi and many other rabbis in our community has motivated us to move very strategically forward in getting everybody on board how is it going to work basically if everybody comes on board and we get 100 participation and hypothetically we are 60 000 people or 80 000 people so if we get 60 000 sign ups the 3 000 will cover the entire budget of all the tuition what does that do for you that takes away the burden for you for your children for your grandchildren everyone needs to take a step back and think about this as a community initiative the same way you're figuring out how you're going to pay your car how you're going to pay your rent and how you're going to pay for your sandwiches for lunch you figure out how you're going to carve out the estimated 3 000 a year this is going to be part of life because we want everybody to live a comfortable life and right now it's not sustainable we've been meeting on and off for over two years and we have thought this through very well it's an amazing plan we have the backing of all the community rabbis all the community leaders the goal is to get everybody to sign up for the program at getsifa.org we can only do as much as we can do we put a plan in place now it's up to everybody else to participate we need everybody to register all we need now is the people in the community to sign up go online get sifa.org look it up read about it ask questions about it but sign up get your friends to sign up [Music] you
