Keser Chaya Seminary in Israel

Does anyone have any contact info for the seminary, or know anything about it. In particular I am interested in knowing what type of girls are going there, and where they will be located.

mods please close these sem threads. everyday it’s another one. you can’t take these seminary reviews from people you don’t know seriously

can you specify why you dont think i should go? What other seminaries do you suggest? Thanx

I don’t know anything more about you than what you wrote…are you from in-town or out-of-town? Do yo WANT to grow?

(ie-give up secular music, movies etc..)

I actually think peninim would be a good place for you…or even Machon Raaya…

btw, there is a seminary 2013 google spreadsheet going around which someone would be able to email you. it has lists of all the seminarys and who’s going. there are question/answers about sem, packing lists etc… Its really cool! It just cant fall into the “wrong” hands if you know what i mean…so you got to get it from someone. your also able to chat with people viewing the spreadsheet at the same time as you, so you can meet people and ask your questions that way…

Machon Raaya is a place for open minded girls who come from non- yeshivish homes. Its pretty academic though…

the Spreadsheet can only be emailed directly to you. ask your grade about it, chances are someone will have it to email to you!

im just curious, arent you a little late to decide which sem you want to go to? Sems are still accepting people?

no. im just really early. My year is going to get really busy later on so I need to do my prep now so I can apply later.

Let me just clarify myself when I say when I say not a yeshivish home. I think youre getting the wrong idea. My father wears a black hat and goes to shul three times a day. We only eat Chalav Yisrael. etc. But on the other hand I’m allowed to watch PG and a few M rated movies and I am allowed to listen to secular music. I wear denim skirts but I dont have to wear 4 inches or 10 cm below the knee. Where I come from, that’s very modern. We dont keep a strict hechsher. I have full internet access. Do you know what I mean?

Thanks for replying. I really appreciate it.

im going in august 2014 i”h. Can you give me some info on lev bais yaakov? ive never heard of it

lev bais yaakov is for girls who are strong in the hashkafa of by, its mainly a seminary for strengtheing onself,its goals is to make the goals want to learn themselves to get a sefer and better themselves on their own time, the other half is preparing for the rest of their lves it will have programs by rabbi mechanic, and the woman who started gemachs in israel adn other things, it will be a small school no more then fifty and they want out of towners, its not ment to be a new york/new jersey sem

I get the vibes that ateres really dont encourage secular music etc. Apparently they confiscate cds of secular music, thats what i heard from a friend. so not sure if its too strict for you.

Ateres is in Ramot, so not so close to the central part of yerushalaim, but still in yerushalaim. Maybe a coupl of buses away from centre.

Its wuite a small sem, maybe 50 girls or so. but not sure how many there are this year. I also think its a fairly early curfew, i assume that means 10.30ish.

HOw about Midereshet tehilla? Its not a beis yaakov sem, but chareidi teachers. its on nevey campuss. the rav is rav Kehaneman, hes amazing. Thats quite hashkafic and non textual/academic, but also spiritually uplifting etc

need seminary help: this is rly funny that im seeing this convo from last year again…from the looks of which sems u want info for and you applyed to. i think i spoke to you….:)
