FIRST REPORT: Universal School Lunch Bill Will Now Simply Raise Poverty Income Levels [VIDEO]

Agudath Israel’s New Jersey Director Rabbi Avi Schnall provided an update to the much-heralded universal school lunch bill that has been winding its way through the New Jersey Legislature.

The updated bill does still include private schools, following Agudah’s advocacy this week to have them included.
