Kids off the Derech due to lack of English Print E-mail

englishNew York -When administering educational evaluations, it is axiomatic that the testing be done in the child’s ‘first language’ so he or she need not silently translate the question before answering.

A Call to Our Fellow Jews Print E-mail

Image
