Does any one know about the chofetz chaim of texas also known as texas torah institute?location surroundings?dorms?teachers?weather
Weather- Currently 80 and mostly cloudy. Wind East South East at 4 MPH. Through 1pm: A few scattered showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy with temperatures steady in the upper 80s. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 45%.
Location Surroundings- Information about the city of Dallas is available here http://www.dallas-ecodev.org/
so… is that where you live now, Popa?
Weather is boiling hot in the summer. Year round, it is usually nice, although it does get cold/rainy occassionally. the community is the sweetest, most inviting. The boys are boys that are looking to grow in a warm enviroment. The first few years, they may still be looking to find themselves, but they come out nice, fine, chofetz chaim boys. The Rebbeim are incredible… Location: not so much to do at nights, unlike NYC or LA or Israel, but there are movie theaters, starbucks, malls, ball fields… and the Dallas Cowboys 🙂
Good luck with the decision!
rotfl
My son went there for 2 and half years (after starting HS here in NY). I can say that from my experience the staff is extremely warm and caring. They take great pride in providing individual attention and knowing each students needs. My son did not go back after graduation (most do) but still went down for a couple of shabbosim.
The community is involved and very supportive of the Yeshiva and the students.
When my son was there the “dorms” were spread out in peoples homes but there is talk that they will build (oo have built a building for housing.
y r u rotfl?
i know some people that went there. they came out to be fine bnei torah. there is a lot of individual attention given to each bochur. the hashkafos are the same as every other chofetz chaim.
“Do they have many people on welfare… Because I hate lazy people”?
Have you seen the state of economic affairs? Jobs are at an all time low!
the patriot – Texans of a few generations standing are very patriotic Americans and very self-reliant – very Republican. Texas fries more criminals than Kentucky fries chicken :))). Those who walked over the border from Mexico are umm..problematic.
If you eat CY only, you may have difficulties in Dallas; I know that was the case 5-10 years ago. Otherwise, you should find the OU certified brands of ice cream there. Dallas has top-class football games from what I remember – the Dallas Cowboys.
strange that you should base where you go for yeshivah on welfare and republican… but if you care to knowtheir gov, rick perry, who is very republican is running for pres.
Sports–they are very into footblal, and into basketball and hockey. Not so into baseball, maybe bec their team is not that great. malls–world class shopping, beautiful malls to shop and hang ou in.
Yes they have ice cream, and yes they have bowling, its not exactly a third world country.
Average winter weather is nice, around high forty-fifty, even sixty-seventy. (Fahrenheit) Occassionally it does get colder.
Yes they have kosher ice cream, baskin robbins, gooeys, whatever it is you need. Its not cholov yisroel though, barely anyone there keeps cholov yisroel
I suggest you call them and explain whatever concerns you have im sure they would behappy to discuss it with you.
