1. I have doctor appointments and I can’t commit to coming every day at that time. Can I still join? Yes. We understand that it will be impossible for most people to come every single day, so try to make your schedule around this program. If you need to miss, it should not be more than once a week. Generally, classes are uploaded online at our Youtube channel "United Jewish Generations" and you will be expected to make up what you miss. For those without a computer, you will be expected to read up on what you missed.
5. Why are you paying me to come? Shouldn't I be paying you? True! The ideal situation would be to study Torah on the highest level to fulfill Hashem's commandment and to connect to Hashem. Many of our participants do not take the money. However, some people need an incentive to come to a daily program. If the money motivates you to come every day then it is worth taking the money. Regarding paying us for the classes, that is very kind and thoughtful. We are a not-for-profit organization and rely on donations to continue our many programs.

5. I don’t need a stipend and I would like to participate. May I join? Sure. We would be thrilled if you would come daily. If not, we will still be happy to have you join.
6. When will the money be disbursed? Please send us via email all 4 essays for the month together. one email should have 4 attachments. Please also clarify if you missed more than once per any week of that month or came more than 10 minutes late any day. Keep in mind that sending in essays late will cause your check to arrive late. Essays that arrive a month late are no longer eligible for the stipend.
