    Thank you again for all the suggestions. My son has adhd and strong sensory problems. He is in 2nd grade and here, In Israel, he doesn’t fit into the cheder system and even the special ed that was offered us is substandard. He is in an integrative cheder which puts him for the mornings in a regular class of 36 boys, then in the afternoon in a special class of 9 boys. The school has no money, and the regular cheder doesn’t want the “special” kids because they “bring down our reputation”. I hope there is something better in America and that the school system has something to offer a child like mine. I feel that the charedi cheder system here is in the stone ages and I’ve scared for my kid’s future. ANy thoughts?

    Thank you for your posts! My husband is an accountant from the UK and worked 7 years before coming to kollel in Jerusalem. New York sounds overwhelming for us because we’re baalei teshuva and very laid back. We’re also coming over with no money, hoping to “FIND” work in my husband’s field. We cannot keep up with the Jones’ and we’re not looking for gashmius. What communities were you thinking of in NY? Any other suggestions?
