Meet Beatrice Weber, a mother who just wants her Hasidic son to get the education he is entitled to by New York's own laws! It's time to recognize that thousands of kids were harmed by the inaction of education officials. Enough is enough. #YeshivaGate x.com/nytopinion/status/1379…

In 2019, an investigation found that only two out of 28 ultra-Orthodox yeshivas in New York City met the basic standards of a public school education. Beatrice Weber, who has to send her son to a yeshiva, has a message for city officials. nyti.ms/3wxIOqb

Thank you @DanielAndrewsMP. Your support is invaluable.
An Israeli Court has ruled Malka Leifer should be extradited to Victoria. This process started 9 years ago. And the fight has continued every day since. Make no mistake - this isn't over yet. But it’s a big step forward for these brave young women and their families.

Terrific news for a young Mavar member who has been offered a place at Warwick University to study law. He joins 4 other undergrads who are starting courses in Genetics, Environmental Sciences, Engineering and Anthropology. They’ve all worked so hard, and we wish them good luck
