To NYmom,
I like the way you judge me up the day after Y”K! Maybe I’ve had past experience dealing with yeshivas. That’s why I asked you if you asked your son’s yeshiva if they ever got trained in different safety courses. I have a friend who collapsed in a yeshiva and no-one knew what to do. He is now permanetly brain damaged. I wasn’t there so I can’t tell you for sure that his demise was due to lack of first response, but that is my assumption based on statistics. I subsequently contacted the people in charge and offered courses. I got such a run around, it wasn’t even worth the effort to offer them in the first place. I didn’t offer them because of my friend- unfortunately this place has had quite a few sudden deaths and they still weren’t interested.
