JL;DR SUMMARY The Stanley I. Chera Sephardic Academy of Manhattan, an Orthodox Sephardic Jewish day school located on the Upper East Side, is experiencing significant growth with the upcoming school year seeing 26 students in two kindergarten classes, a notable increase from nine two years prior. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
