Seminary is Israel – the year after high school, is very different than in the U.S. Here the programs are usually for 1-3 years after 12th grade and are known as “maslulim”. If you are not planning on going to college here, then that is where you will go to continue your education and get a “degree” of some sort. I do not mean something like a B.A., but more like a credential that is what employers look for when hiring staff. These would include teaching (most girls do this along with something else), special ed, interior design, and numerous other programs that each school tailor makes for its student population. It is not meant to be a year spent solely for ruchnius, living away from home, etc.
BTW, you are not SAFE anywhere in Israel at this point. It’s all in HKB’H’s hands. Most of the attacks these days are outside of Yerushalayim. Daavening helps.
