Reply To: Stuff they don't tell you about sending kid to learn in EY

@apushatayid-

Those things, the important ones, are beyond my control. I have to have faith in the rebbis, dorm counselors, and power of being immersed in learning that the boys will make good choices. After 4 years dorming in HS, I think a lot of the shtuss of being on their own will not be as exciting as for some. “Chilling”? Ben Yehuda? They’re going to go there anyway. Let’s hope they’re as disgusted by the concept of kosher McDonalds as I was.

@Nechoma-

(you ARE a nechoma!) Dorms. Not bringing him home for Pesach. Thanks for reminder about luggage. The yeshiva with the travel agency got some special deal for the 2nd suitcase (free?)! Used to doing own laundry. YT & Ch”M meals? Well, there’s always Bisli!

The administrations all say no laptop computers, no iPods, no phones with internet connections, no secular music. Right. If it’s the same as at the HS yeshiva, there will be easy access to all the other stuff they want. They’ll just have to look for it harder, I suppose. That’s how it was in the HS yeshiva dorm.
