Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or manuscript (likely by Alan Dershowitz, given the reference to colleague Steven Jay Gould and the Yeshiva background) stamped by the House Oversight Committee. The text details the author's childhood education at a Modern Orthodox Yeshiva, focusing on the separation between religious (Torah) and secular (Madah) studies. The author describes their rebellious nature, skepticism of both religion and science, and recounts receiving bad grades in conduct while excelling in speaking, culminating in a teacher insulting their 'dirty mind' despite their physical cleanliness.
