Filmmaker Boruch Perlowitz Fights Back: “I’m a Victim of Hasidic Yeshiva Education”

light of the recent article in the new york times about hasidic issue of education i decided that it was finally time for me to come and say that i too am a victim of the hasidic yeshiva education i'm 30 years old married with five kids no college education and no job instead i'm a game show host and filmmaker now here's the thing most of my game shows are corporate events and parties ironically mostly acidic run businesses do you know how strange it is to be doing a game show for an uneducated acidic individual running a multi-million dollar company or perhaps a real estate mogul he might own a bunch of nursing homes or just a very successful ecommerce business it's crazy you know what else i oftentimes do game shows for schools hasidic schools they take an hour a full hour time that they're supposed to be educating our children and instead they use that time to do a game show an interactive and educational game show it's ridiculous listen up since i'm 20 years old instead of going to frat parties and clubs i have to come home and spend quality time with my amazing family and during vacation time instead of going to myrtle beach i'm out having beautiful vacations with my family at 25 years old instead of buying a fancy sports car like most guys would want to i had to buy a house for my family to live in in addition to that i also fly as a hobby now being that my school only taught me the basic abcd i had to go and learn alpha bravo charlie delta do you know how difficult that was the yeshiva education is terrible this also affects the next generation my oldest daughter is eight years old and she goes to a girls only school not only that every kid in her class actually comes from a traditional family with two parents and when she comes home instead of doing tick tocks and instagram reels she goes to play with friends she rides bikes rides scooters and even plays with dolls hello we are in 2022 right now because of my upbringing and aesthetic yeshiva i keep the sabbath which is as primitive as it sounds no driving no working and no use of electronic devices all we can do is take long walks eat long meals and spend quality family time it's times like this that i realize just how terrible and broken the hasidic yeshiva system is now like myself most of my friends and neighbors also only have a basic yeshiva education which means that for a living we are stuck doing things like real estate mortgages nursing homes e-commerce it marketing and all of that stuff which is extremely limiting then you have people like my father who've been teaching for over 30 years and i asked him how is it that you walk into a classroom every single day to educate to teach morals and to fill these young minds with the wisdom that they are so hungry for when instead you could have been a scientist an engineer or maybe even a lawyer that would have been so much more meaningful to your life instead of impacting these thousands of students that you had and changing their lives forever dear elected officials the time to act is now or we might have another generation of acidic families families who have the lowest homicide and suicide rates families who have extremely low rates when it comes to violent crimes and narcotics use a community where our police department feels welcome and safe a community that has virtually no homelessness a community that has the highest rate of volunteer and charity given i am a victim of acidic yeshiva and i hope that there are many many more to come
