My cousin, a Cantor, characterises it well. When he meets with a family
who is enrolling their kids at religious school, he asks them why. The
answer is often a variation of "to give them a Jewish education" or "to
give them the gift of Judaism". His response is often "how can you give
them what isn't yours in the first place?" He then encourages the
parents to actively involve themselves not just in the education of their
child, but in synagogue life.

Of course, we all know that the core of Judaism isn't the synagogue,
but the home.

_Now_ you know. <twinkle in eye>

The home and family are the center of Judaism, *not* the synagogue.
