WOW, I understand the Kesher now has a program for Israeli kids as well as American kids. He might just find himself a place for himself there because he can choose which group he fits better in. As far as not having the bus, how are they finding their way to the yeshiva on their own? That is a responsibility they have to work on. Just because they don’t have the convenience of provided transportation should NOT stop them from finding a way to get there on their own. That is the challenge and that is what they have to figure out to show their commitment to the administration. If he does it own his own or he does it together with anyone else or everyone else, he needs to be encouraged to get up and stand up to the challenge. Maybe this is where you husband can take an active role and be the “man to man” example. This might be where he can discuss the challenges in life and how to overcome them. He might be able to “work” with him here instead as seem to be “against” him. This might be an opportunity for them to bond on this issue. However it has to be with positive energy and never in a negative light.
