Dr. Mansdorf, whose children attended yeshivas, says the board has both the religious and the public schools' interests at heart.

The village's handicapped children once attended yeshivas and received government-subsidized instruction for the handicapped there.

With three of five students attending yeshivas, the school district, as you point out, is able to spend a good deal more per student than neighboring districts.

His father, a lawyer, and his mother, were observant Jews, and he attended yeshivas, or religious schools.

The children attend yeshivas instead of public schools.

But the school is at only 89 percent of capacity because many children in the community attend yeshivas.

And many of the white students in town are Orthodox Jews who attend yeshivas.

Children from Orthodox Jewish families attend yeshivas outside the community.

Except for the handicapped children, all village children attend private yeshivas.

Except for handicapped students, all the children in Kiryas Joel attend yeshivas.
