In the last (September/October 1997) issue of JDCC News, we ran a brief item ‘Schaap Transfers To Yeshivah In New Jersey’. This news item was based on a letter Michael Schaap wrote to JDCC News announcing his decision to leave the Hebrew Seminary of the Deaf (HSD) and study at a Yeshivah in Morristown, N.J. and giving several reasons for his decision. Since that story was printed, JDCC has received a letter signed by Rabbi Douglas Goldhamer, President and Nona Balk, Administrator of HSD stating “We were shocked to see in the latest newsletter an article about Michael Schaap and HSD which you did not corroborate with us”. They went on to express their disappointment in the lack of responsibility of confirming the truth of the story. In their reply, however, they also state “We are very disappointed that Michael decided to leave our program…” which confirmed the original news item. They also gave numerous references to personal details involving the arrangement Mr. Schaap and HSD had which, we felt, was not appropriate to be disclosed in JDCC News.
