Reply To: Leaving children alone in the house

“how do you send a child to sem in Israel when in most sems from Friday afternoon until Sunday, the sem has only the girl’s word where she is? I’m not judging, but I’ve always wondered.”

Just me….FIRST of all, this girl is not a “child”, she is eighteen and probably has her license and is entitled to vote for president.

SECOND of all, it’s shabbos, where do you think the girl is going? Do you expect the seminaries to keep them chained to the bed and report to them when they are going to use the facilities?

THIRD of all, if the seminary finds that a girl is breaking rules, like going to the beach for shabbos and doing dangerous things, she will find herself on the next plane home, sans the money you paid for seminary.
