OK, let’s clarify. Yeshivas – the ultra-religious schools that ultra-Orthodox attend – are not generally what are being referenced when people talk about Jewish Day School, which is for generally secular families. A Jewish Day School follows a dual curriculum—whatever the secular state curriculum mandates AND a Jewish history/Hebrew language curriculum. Someone upthread mentioned that Yeshiva students don’t get a good secular education, and that is generally correct for the boys. This is NOT what we are referring to when we talk about Jewish Day School.

Never ever heard the word “fundamentalist” used in reference to Judaism (reform, conservative, conservadox, orthodox, reconstructionist, etc). Maybe some militant Zionists use it somewhere, but its it largely a Christian concept. Another story??

You are mixing apples and oranges. Zionism–belief in a Jewish homeland–has nothing to do with religiosity. In fact, ultra-Orthodox are not Zionists.
