    Since Hashem is echad, the more echad we become, the more we can become domeh lo and experience the pleasure for which we were created as explained in the hakdama to the Mesilas Yesharim

    you are right. I forgot that i had already leaned Neviim rishonim with miforshim, I meant that for a ben Torah who learns Chazal, 2 perakim a day is a good chazara…

    My Rebbe told me that he holds like reb Meir Simcha bnogea yashan. He is only makpid on yashan when he (my American rebbe) is in dvinsk!

    Remember the advice of mark twain..”never let schooling interfere with your education”..
    Pick up a Nach with a good translation, read 2 perakim a day, and finish every 11 months…

    The bnai Torah were always good at keeping a low profile in galus, showing respect (at least on the outside) to our elected officials, including davening for them on Shabbos. Since when did we get the nerve to write open criticism against the President of the USA?
    It isn’t wise to speak poorly of their decisions, let alone their character. WE DONT HAVE THE UPPER HAND IN GALUS AMERICA AND WOE TO ANYONE WHO THINKS OTHERWISE. The goyim know what is posted on these websites.
    The Noda B’Yehudah gave a glowing public hesped on Maria Theresa in Prague, even though she was a virulent anti-Semite.
    President Biden and all elected officials should never be criticized by Torah observant Jews.

    There are many Chazals that inform us as to what to focus on in our Avodas Hashem.
    Without really knowing you well, it would be difficult to make specific suggestions. The more Torah you learn, the more you will develop your unique mehalech in Avodas Hashem. what type of seforim do you enjoy learning?

    2. depending on what circle of yidden you live in your needs vary accordingly as an example ; if college is a given than you need better hs english , if sem is a given , you need a better handle on torah text inside.. if a job for many years is a given you need stronger hashkafa skills..

    so if I am understanding you correctly, we are shortchanging our girls because of seminaries? it seems to be a incorrect focus from the bottom up and or the top down…

    You are right. The Ramban’s reason to argue on Rashi isn’t part of the halachos they need to memorize. Better off teaching them halacha more than 40 minutes a week!!

    As I don’t know you, I will make no assumptions. I want them to be challenged and to be highly educated. I was simply saying that there is a wealth of Torah in the lev department that they desperately need to know , especially if they end up as doctors and professionals. Teaching with a more haskafic focus will stand them in much greater stead when they enter the decadent professional word than making more sechel oriented information the top priority.
    I’m promoting teaching the beauty of the Torah to girls more than the informational part. Obviously they need a mix, but what should the main focus be??

    they are not approachable. many have tried to make sweeping changes. Most people who get it, try to make changes within their own classrooms. its just heartbreaking to hear students complain how much they hate Chumash or Navi. When was the last time your teen came home and told you a yesod they learned from these 2 subjects?

    As far as the fact that a vaad of Rabbonim decided on the curriculum, it may be true, however, perhaps it is time to revisit the priorities based on the unique nisyonos of this generation.

    It is my estimation that over 30 % of 8th grade girls in many many communities are watching weekly shows on either netflix,disney plus, or amazon prime video. the morals and values promoted in these shows are basically a version of the gimmel chamuros in one form or another.
    watching these types of things as well as short meaningless youtube or tiktok videos dulls the neshama and makes our children numb to the warmth of yiddishkeit. if we dont combat these influences with a fiery warmth of Torah, we are doomed to losing many many of them. when you remove the 2 yuds from chaim, you are left with cham. vhameivin yavin…

    Always ask Questions-
    Yes Bruria was exceptional, no question about that.
    I understand the need for intellectual stimulation in the learning, Im suggesting that one can be stimulated intellectually from the lev-oriented meforshim just as much as the current meforshim being taught.
    the main effort that most bais yaakov girls make is to memorize the meforshim for tests…so why not make them memorize meforshim that bring out yesodos of yahadus instead of more informational based meforshim.

    I’m unsure how this is an answer. What I am trying to say is that there is a limited amount of time in a school day. We can either have our girls be taught meforshim like the sifsei chachamim who often explains the details of why Rashi said this or that or what was the intention of Rashi, or we can teach them the meforshei Rashi that bring out the beauty of Rashi regarding inyanei hashkafa. For example many sifrei chassidus like the sfas emes, the kedushas levi , the nesivos shalom and dozens more
    Since we only have time for either or, it seems like a mistake to address the moch as opposed to the lev.
    there is a disconnect happening in our mosdos hachinuch between what we are learning and it translating to our rigshei halev…
