Dear Friends,
Just moments ago, on Independence Day, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act which includes the first national scholarship tax credit!
Working together, this new opportunity can generate hundreds of millions of dollars for yeshiva tuition and will have a dramatic impact on families across the country.
Today’s victory was the culmination of decades of advocacy by Agudah and its coalition partners to address one of our community’s number one priorities: the ability of parents to afford tuition at the school of their choice.
I am personally indebted to my amazing colleagues at Agudah and to the support of so many of you! Whether you joined the hundreds of thousands of people who sent emails to Congress, joined us on our missions to Washington, or supported our efforts around the country we thank you! We had great coalition partners in state and national school choice groups, nonpublic school advocates, and other faith leaders who trusted us and ensured that we had input in the bill drafting and at every stage of the process. Most importantly, we are grateful to our champions in Congress who worked for the last six months to ensure that school choice was included in President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
We will send additional information tomorrow night about the scholarship tax credit and other items in the bill.
Have a Good Shabbos!
