lc:

1. Statistically, there are likely to be more students living between over a mile up to two and a half miles from the yeshiva as there are students living a mile or less from the school. People do not choose a Yeshiva because it is the closest Yeshiva to their home.

2. Shuls are much closer to people’s homes, and there are far more of them, than yeshivos.

3. Some children speak Yiddish as their primary language. Some even as their only language at a young age.
