Hello,
I’m looking for a school (either in the U.S. or E”Y) for a 16 year old whose yeshiva just closed down. It’s a very particular case, and I’m not sure the right yeshiva even exists for him… 🙁
The kid is:
– bright
– has not been taught how to enjoy learning, so he doesn’t really enjoy it, and doesn’t want a full-time learning yeshiva,
– is a yrei shomayim,
– … but had a bad experience in a black hat & jacket environment so wants a place that won’t force him to wear them (at this time).
So he’s an out-of-the-box, really good kid, who with warmth and guidance could really shine.
Can anyone give any recommendations?
Thanks in advance

It is a small yeshiva, with excellent secular studies, an understanding of the need for leisure activities, and a hanhala that is par exellence second to none.
It is also discussed elsewhere on this site; perhaps you can search.
