Orthodox Jewish middle class in the US faces financial strain

The American Jewish Orthodox middle class is struggling financially, with incomes of $300,000-$500,000 insufficient in high-cost areas. This strain is due to significant expenses like day school tuition, higher housing costs, and increased prices for kosher food and other necessities, with limited access to subsidy programs. The community must foster internal business networks, promote financial literacy, and encourage entrepreneurship to support its middle class and ensure future generations can maintain their lifestyle.
