Now, being above average at the local Yeshiva may still be a crappy education, or it might be stellar, but that is still the fair measure of "is my solution better or worse than the alternative."Miami Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977503720972852329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073802866177507027.post-1133936055817477242011-01-12T16:04:35.376-06:002011-01-12T16:04:35.376-06:00AL:
