The Gopins: When a Child Cannot Read [Divergence 6/6]

JL;DR SUMMARY David Bashevkin interviews Bayla Gopin, a student with dyslexia, her mother Chana, and Shulamit Roth, the founder of Yeshivat Shalshelet, about the challenges and strategies for supporting Jewish children with language-based learning disabilities.

  • 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'.
