Reply To: Do we really need Seminary in Israel?

postsemgirl,

I am heartened to hear that you were not a financial burden to your parents during your time in Seminary.

Your insinuation that my daughter’s parenting or upbring may be to blame (your insult aside) is not the problem.

My response point by point.

1.

girls in sem do NOT have to eat out every night,parents should not have to dish out so much extra money,

I couldn’t agree more. Why though when my son is in Yeshiva will I not have to foot the bill to pay for dinner? Somehow tution covers 3 meals a day? Why won’t seminaries?

2.

girls can take buses

agreed

3.

and they do not have to go to europe

Also agree. However you are missing the point, this is not a pleasure trip, The Seminary takes the trip to Poland and 90% of the students are going. Isn’t that a poor reflection of the Seminary? Don’t they have rachmunics on the parents who have difficulty paying?
