Shanifirst – did you go to pninim? What year?
We did have quite a lot of trips, but it’s not really half day learning, it just has a break for a couple of hours after lunch. Some days classes start again at 4pm, some days at 6pm. It has a very wide range of girls, some more modern, some who came from more chareidi families, but we were all girls who didn’t want to go to the ‘typical’ beis yaakov sem. I went there cause I didn’t want heavy academics and medrash reports every week, I wanted to learn about my purpose in life and how to set up my own home with the right hashkafos.
