It doesn’t have to be so expensive. Some Jewish day schools in Montreal are not very useful for learning French, which is a priority if you’d like your kids to stay in Montreal. A lot of parents in my synagogue (even our rabbi) send their kids to public schools and enroll them in after school programs, bring them to our Family Shabbat once a month, and send them to Jewish summer camp if they can.. Which makes Synagogue membership more important, but dues can be adjusted to income.
