Reply To: Seminary in Israel, whats the deal?

so lets see…$22,000 on a middle child who then expects 4 years of college maybe 2 years of grad school and a decent wedding….my parents will be in debt till they are 93, as she is only a middle child and my brother wants to go to israel and live off my parents as well. not to mention to other siblings in yeshivas, i mean what do people do??? take out a second mortgage?!?

fafsa wont cover enough of it thats for sure…masa is giving like $100

back when i went to seminary it was about $12,000 and i paid $6,000 out of my own pocket. unfortunately my sister didn’t accumulate those sort of funds as i did when i was in high school….

point being, many people just go to israel to chill for a year before reality hits hard, is that worth $22,000??
