It’s nice to spend a year in E”Y, not necessary. Parents should NOT be spending thousands of dollars that they do or don’t have so their daughters can spend a year in E”Y. I think more sems need to open in the U.S. but as I said, that will only happen when there is a demand. Boys yeshivas work differently. There are certain Roshei Yeshiva who live in E”Y and have yeshivas there. Girls sems are not usually led by chashuva rabbanim and there are plenty chashuva rebetzins in the states not just in E”Y. Also, I don’t think a lot of girls who come here should be given so much freedom.
