Payback.

my mom called me at 3:30 am to tell me that my high school is giving me a scholarship for bar ilan for $2,000.

a. ive never recieved a scholarship before
b. my high school was not much of a positive influence for me while i was there
c. $2,000 is A LOT of money

look at that, yeshivah of flatbush coming through for little old (israeli) me. maybe they feel guilty about pushing the zionism so well.
