I was told, to ask any holocaust survivor for a bracha…

I lived in Nachalot for one year and I have to say, it was the kindest, warmest and most beautiful of all Jerusalem. Each door is artistically unique, it is close to the shuk, close to the central bus station, and you can smell the pastries baking around 5am just by stepping outside your door! Love, love, love the residents of Nachlaot too. Hatzlacha!

Being ” yeshivish” takes a lot of dedication. Kollel full time, black pants, white shirt. Speaking to women a bare minimum and university a no no. Kollel full time yes. No tv or secular radio.

Now, modern yeshivish is better to “label” yourself it sounds like.

This day and age you must have a parnosse and a heavy wallet at that. Kids, tuition, kosher food and its more expensive to live in a frum community in any big city.

My husband is “modern yeshivish” and doesn’t feel as a baal teshuvah that he needs to pretend to be “yeshivish”, he does not learn full time in a Kollel. You definetly need to choose a yeshivah( I suggest Ohr Somayach in eretz Yosrael or Shor Yoshuv in Far Rockaway and go either before you get married for at least one year or use your first year of marriage in a yeshiva in eretz yisrael. She should be willing to go to a sem while your in yeshiva so shes not lonley.

I know a yeshivish guy who is FFB, 35 and still not married. He says because he went pre med he was getting suggested women who were too “modern”. So, its a consequence to take.

Keep in mind during the Shoah, women purposely pricked themselves to draw blood and applied it to their lips and cheeks to look younger, more attractive and “useful” to the SS.
