My daughter is in Mesores Rochel now. She loves the seminary. Everything that was said above about Mrs. Tarshish is true. The learning is of a different dimension. Rosh Chodesh is not a regular day, it has meaning! The month of Cheshvan, what it’s all about, the mazel of the month, and how it all connects,…these are just some of the things my daughter has told me about recently. However it’s a lot of work, a lot! There doesn’t seem to be any letup because in order to understand Mrs. Tarshish’s Shoftim class, there’s a tremendous amount of preparation that has to go in beforehand. This class is in addition to preparing the entire parsha each week, homework from all the other subjects, and tests every week. There’s very little time to sleep. My daughter really enjoys the learning but she is very tired.
My daughter says the girls are a nice blend and everyone is friendly with everyone. Some dress up for Shabbos, some don’t and it’s all okay. Mrs. Tarshish goes with the girls on the tiyulim. Her rich insight of history and hashkafa make these tiyulim more than just fun trips; and yes, they have fun too. The food is good, the staff is wonderful and they’re located in Geulah. There’s class in the morning, an afternoon break, and evening classes. No uniform but a dress code. Anything else?
