About This Document: People often ask me why we have gotten so involved in supporting Jewish day schools. After all, neither of us went to day school ourselves. And we haven't just been supporting Perelman; we've given to nearly every Jewish day school in the Delaware Valley We made our first signifi- cant such donation to Torah Academy, an Or- thodox day school to which we had absolute- ly no plans to send our children. Many people were surprised it wasn't to Perelman. "Why aren't you helping your own children's school first?" they asked.It was only when my eyes were opened to the breadth of Jewish law that I began to understand that there are rules, guidelines. I learned about the importance of giving to my community first, about giving to the poor, about the mitzvah of Torah learning and how important it is to make it available to others. Even without binding myself to all of the legal obligations of the Torah, I began to realize that a clear set of Jewish ideas and values comes out of the law. Financing a building at a university or sending doctors to Africa are worthwhile endeavors, but they shouldn't be a priority when members of our community are starving physically, intellectually or spiritually
