Hi, i was in the new gateshead sem. There were LOADS of french girls!! if you’re a good girl and you’re really coming because you want to learn then you will do very well there. In the new gateshead you will not be the only one who’s family is not so frum – Rabbi Katz accepts girls for who THEY are, and NOT who their family are. As long as you are really serious and can convince rabbi katz that you are serious you will be ok.
And one more thing – if you do go – try not to be like the majority of the other french girls who are there and try to get to know girls who are not french as well!
