Hi Aaron,

Allow me to quote the letter you mailed on 01-Oct-90

 AF> Since this is a private Yeshiva I would not have a case. Hope you
 AF> caught my message about the rigors and as that is the case I suppose
 AF> they have legimate concerns.

Having a disability can have a limiting effect in anything we do.

 AF> I know that someplace in the USA there might be a Yeshiva that would take
 AF> me but the old story is sometimes its *who* you know that counts. As of
 AF> this minute I don't know *whom*. Thanks for your understanding Bill.

Is there publications that are soley dedicated to Jews like the Christian
Science Monitor for the Christians? If so they should have at one point or
another a mention of other Yeshiva's in the country. If worse comes to worse
then you should send out your own "feelers" and make sure they say that your
looking for a school that is accomodatating to your limits or needs. If that
fails, look into one in Canada or if your willing to go that far, look
overseas.

 AF> BTW going to Yeshiva to be a rabbi is not the only reason to go. It
 AF> provides an intense opportunity to study your culture, the Torah, Hebrew
 AF> etc in a manner that can not be replicated on the outside. I believe ther
 AF> is a sociological study written about 5 years ago called (papaphasing) Th
 AF> World of the Yeshiva. Sorry I don't remember the author.  Shalom, Aaron
 AF>

It sound like the way your culture is taught is very different and
interesting. Maybe I should take a closer look, all I ever here of Jews
is in a historical sense and with no reference to culture. It's just a
passing thought, but wouldn't it be nice if it were mandatory that all
school students be exposed to the other cultures of the world before thei
ideals of them are set mostly for life?

Shalom, Bill
