On motzei Shabbos of Sukkos this year I went to Yerushalayim for a ladies only evening. Before leaving Yerushlayim I went to Ben Yehuda Street for a coffee. The street was packed full of English speaking yeshiva and seminary kids from all streams. The more “frum” were just walking around and staring and the rest were mingling. There were quite a few OTD Anglo Israelis , too. Perhaps there are hangouts all over the place-but the scene that greeted me was the giant hang out of them all. Please think carefully before sending your child to Israel. He or she is going to learn a lot-perhaps a lot of things you are not considering…..
