Following the House’s passage of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” which includes a multi-billion dollar federal school choice initiative, Rabbi Avi Schnall is calling on the community to stay informed and take action. The legislation represents a potential turning point for families seeking relief from high tuition costs and greater access to quality education through school choice.
In an email sent to supporters, Rabbi Schnall noted the overwhelming response since the bill passed, with countless parents, educators, and community members reaching out to understand how this could affect their families, yeshivos, and local institutions. To provide clarity and guidance, he announced a special insider briefing scheduled for today at 3:00 PM EDT.
The briefing will cover the contents of the House proposal, its expected impact on tuition and school funding, and what individuals can do now to help advance the bill through the next stages of the legislative process.
“This is the moment we’ve been working toward for years,” Rabbi Schnall wrote. “Now let’s make it happen.”
The initiative, long championed by advocates of educational freedom, has gained renewed energy and focus. Rabbi Schnall, who serves as Director of Federal Education Affairs for Agudath Israel of America, emphasized the importance of community engagement to ensure this historic opportunity becomes a reality.
