I'm going with the little village since I can get away with more humour that way, but having a big city like Norwich nearby could prove helpful.

Not sure how, but could.

I'm personally scared by the five thousand people who favorited the racist-seeming tweets.

Granted, Oswalt fucked over all of them.

You're absolutely, positively, entirely and completely sure you can stay active?

Short of being catastrophically injured, yep.

Name: The Berezovski Academy of Jewish and Rabbinical Studies

Principal/Rector: Rabbi Yochanan Berezovski, the Rosh Yeshiva

Motto: Brighter than a burning bush.

Location: Crown Heights, New York

Main Studies: Torah, Talmud, Halacha, Kabbalah, Jewish History, Hebrew, Yiddish, Defensive Sorcery, Alchemy, Healing and Medicine, Supernatural Biology

Uniform: Tznius is obligatory. Essentially, most people dress in a manner considered acceptable by Modern Orthodox rabbis. Despite this, there are some variations, as the Academy is the preeminent yeshiva specializing in supernatural studies.

History: Rabbi Yochanan Berezovski was a renowned scholar on the Tanya and Jewish mysticism prior to his founding of the yeshiva. He traveled the world for many years, exorcising and vanquishing demons. At the time, he also struggled with alcoholism. Otherwise, he probably would have known that magical schools were a horrible idea.

After the devastation wrought on London by the forces of Hell became public knowledge, the learned rabbi, fearing a repetition of such attacks in his own backyard, immediately returned to Crown Heights, with the intention of establishing an elite school. He encountered mild resistance from the more conservative elements and rabbinical councils, but, eventually, Berezovski secured permission for his endeavor.

Since then, the yeshiva has trained some of the preeminent Jewish exorcists, mystics, and magicians from around the world. Certain members of the Knesset have even likened the students to the magical equivalent of the Mossad, and most of had little difficulty finding employment, either with the armies of the world or with synagogues.

The school was been threatened twice in its infancy, but both times the demons were easily repulsed by the faculty and students. Rabbi Berezovski is reputed to be the wisest scholar of his generation and a leading expert on supernatural matters, especially of the defensive variety.

Students are required to study constantly, and the rules regarding the maintenance of high grades are strict. Close to half the student population drops out prior to graduating, and only about one quarter of students are acknowledged as fully prepared to leave the yeshiva and pursue a career in the mystical arts. Furthermore, only the brightest applicants even receive admission into the yeshiva.

The yeshiva's colors are blue and cream. Their crest shows a menorah kindled by stars of David, with azure leopards rampant on either side of the emblem. Their sports teams are not too good, but they are called the roaring lions, and they have a reputation for playing dirty, while also being nice Jewish boys and girls. Don't ask. It doesn't make sense.

Notable Alumni: The current head of the Mossad is a graduate of the yeshiva. Likewise, those mysterious drunkards who appear to be speaking gibberish and wearing funny hats, and who kill demons with their bare hands, are probably graduates too.

Relationship with Elfen High: The Berezovski Academy of Jewish and Rabbinical Studies and Elfen High are archenemies on the sports field, not to mention that the former was inspired by the latter. There is also a strong enmity between Berezovski and Crowley, due to the fact that Crowley may have slept with Berezovski's wife, son, and pet cat. Whether it was all three at once or whether these escapades occurred separately is not widely known. At least, the yeshiva tends to win in athletics.
