Father of four Yohanan Lowen, living mainly on welfare, is effectively illiterate; only job skill is teaching Aramaic.

HAARETZ

A 37-year-old former Hasidic Jew is suing the Quebec government for $1.25 million (U.S. $1.1 million) for allowing the ultra-Orthodox schools he attended in the province to teach him nothing of use in the non-Haredi world.

“I feel like a child of six years old, alone in the world, who doesn’t have parents, who doesn’t have somebody to take care of him. … I feel even worse than that child because that child only has to take care of himself, but I have to take care of my four children,” Yohanan Lowen told thestar.com.

Lowen, who left Quebec’s Hasidic community in 2010 and moved with his family to Montreal, says he is illiterate in French, doesn’t know the alphabet, and understands only the most basic math. He earns a little money teaching Aramaic at a secular night school, and otherwise supports his family on his monthly welfare check.

Lowen says the Hasidic schools he attended didn’t require him to learn French, English, math, science, history or any other secular subject. School officials told him that any time spent studying anything but Jewish religious texts was time wasted, he added.

The issue of Haredi schools failing to give pupils a solid education in basic secular subjects is not only a controversy in Israel, but also in Quebec, where many Haredi communities are rooted.

These schools are privately- or semi-privately funded, and as a rule are not certified by the Quebec education system. Education Minister Yves Bolduc has pledged to shut down such private schools.

  1. He did learn enough to blame the gentiles and sic lawyers on them for shekels. Also members of the tribe. Pity he did not head off to Central America with the others brethren when they slipped out of Canada last year.
    Interesting he does not look to the community that schooled him, the community his parents raised him in! Or is the neglected gentile education the only facet of his upbringing that he is whinging about?

  2. GO AHEAD AND GIVE HIM THE MONEY!
    THEN USE THE LEGAL PRESIDENT AS A REASON TO SHUT DOWN AND BAN ALL ULTRA-ORTHODOX SCHOOLS IN CANADA!
    It is a small price to pay for un – corrupting children’s minds..

  3. Let me assure you-the only ‘poor Jews’,somehow get out of ‘communion’-to borrow a term,with the rest. Jews run a “National Socialist”, communty,they condemn in others. Too gredy,close minded Gentiles they peddled Adam Smith ‘free markets’,they they DO NOT PRACTICE. “Go get a job’,is not in their lexicon;only looser Goys do that . Jews HELP one another,in business,employment,capital,education,relationships. I know,I have been around them.This is how they rule. YOU NEED NOT APPLY. Recent example. I knew a n infamous Golddigger. Very Aryan looking (till I saw a photo),she was twice married ,and dumped both times. The Jews got her employment in cosmetics,and went a looking for hubby number 3. People laughed at her machinations for a rich man,as they were so desperate,clinging,and obvious. “CA CHING “. She landed a dweeby ,younger Jew whos father owns multiple car dealerships ! They WORK it… If she were a gentile,these opportunities would of been rare,and off to Wall Mart, she would of went,selling cheap ladies bras. when WE lean this method,than we might begin to win.

  4. This is ridiculous! Hassidic jews are forcing their people to live in Middle Ages… and if people not smart enough to realize it… then we don’t have to pay for it. H.J. are a plague in anormal community, forcing gyms to paint their windows, being insulted at xmass trees, treating their women like slaves… etc… Maybe sending them all back to israel would bea wonderful solution
