At once a Lithuanian yeshiva and a New England prep school
Noah Feldman wrote a long article about nothing in the NYT Magazine: Orthodox Paradox:
"The yeshiva where I studied considers itself modern Orthodox, not ultra-Orthodox. We followed a rigorous secular curriculum alongside traditional Talmud and Bible study. Our advanced Talmud and Hebrew classes were interspersed with advanced-placement courses in French literature and European political history, all skillfully coordinated to prime us for the Ivy League. To try to be at once a Lithuanian yeshiva and a New England prep school: that was the unspoken motto of the Maimonides School of Brookline, Mass., where I studied for 12 years".UPDATE: mentalblog.com: Who is Noah Feldman?
