An eight-year investigation by the city's Department of Education concluded that many of the religious schools were not providing “substantially equivalent instruction” in core subjects as do public schools.

Hasidic Jews comprise one movement of Orthodox Judaism. And while the roughly 200,000 Hasidic Jews in New York City represent just a fraction of the city’s Jewish population, they have amassed considerable influence within the city’s power structure because of the community’s penchant for voting as a bloc.

Richard Bamberger, a representative of the group, told the New York Daily News on Friday that parents send their children to yeshivas because of the moral and religious approach taken by the schools. “For any school found to not be substantially equivalent,” NYC schools spokesperson Nathaniel Styer said in a statement, “the DOE stands ready to support the school to becoming substantially equivalent.”
