NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 12: A yeshiva school bus drives through Borough Park on September 12, 2022 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Following recent reports and test results showing yeshiva students not receiving an adequate education, New Yorkâ€™s Board of Regents will vote this week on a proposal that would allow the state to reject a yeshivaâ€™s secular curriculum. The Hasidic Jewish community has pushed back on reforms in yeshiva schools, which number over 300 in New York City. Critics of the schools have long said that graduating students are not receiving an education that prepares them for a modern job market. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
