Now if we`d really like to connect Obama to Akiba, do it this way: for a while in the 1950s, the school was moving around every year to a new location (it`s a very small school and has been for a long time). One year the building they used was a certain mansion across the street from KAM-II, which is to say, Obama`s current house. So his daughters lived in a building previously occupied by the school, and went to camp in a building sometimes occupied by the school, but, in short, it is inaccurate to say they went to Hebrew or Jewish school.

There`s your Hyde Park update from the inside.
