Jewish Maidel: You’ve been awfully quiet since you started this topic… with all this discussion, I hope you find an answer that is helpful to you!
wow popa you did not just go there!
and sem613- you are absolutely right, they don’t care if you even get to the yedios klaliyos section. Put your main focus on the meforshim and you’ll do great! im so jealous of you!!!!
yeah don’t get too stressed over this… its the entrance exam thats the real killer….;)
they make the prompt as vague as possible to give you flexibility to write about anything you want. Write about things that are important to you such as family, or friends… and write about things you’ve done in school and what you have learnt from it. It can be fluffed up, but remember that your interviewer will have it open when he/she interviews, and he does have notes on it that make you unique and ask you casual questions about it. Don’t stress over it too much, and enjpy the most incredible year!!!
i would recommend landers college for women- aka touro manhattan. It is friendly, and warm and is a lovely jewish environment. There are learning groups and shiurim during lunch or frequently scheduled through out the week. Girls are assigned advisors who get to know you well, and they guide you and are there to assist you. there is also beautiful dorms for girls who live out of town, or who want to dorm.
SEMINARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
excellent choices!!! machon raaya is known to be a bais yaakov michalah! darchei bina is sort of like michalalah yet still very different. good luck!
From the descprition of your daughter(?) it sounds like machon raaya would be a good fit for her. It is academic, out of town-y, and i think its less stuffy than other seminaries. Another recomendation would be michalah which is highly academic,and very shtark girls go there who are more open minded from bais yaakovs and non bais yaakovs but all the girls that go there are ultra frum nontheless. It is very interesting classes that are challenging but the work load itself is set up for you to still have a fun enjoyable year. Machon Raaya is known to be a ‘bais yaakov michlala” so if she specifically wants to go to a bais yaakov this is a good option! Good luck:)

one of the biggest compliments and chessed you can do for this guy is to set him up with someone else. most people who redt shidduchim vaguely know the two parties. if you know both sides pretty well and you tihnk he is more for your friend then you are helping the shidduch crisis. your friend will see that you think this guy is good enough to go out with her and he’s not some creep that you went out with that you want to forget about.
kol hakovod! and hatzlacha!
i had a teacher who on the first day of class took out a blank peice of paper and said “this is what i know about you- nothing”. she then tore up the peice of paper and said “from now on you each have a clean slate for anyone who wants to start anew.”
first of all mazal tov!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! second of all fashion island on coney island in brooklyn has a sale now on stunning tznuisdik dresses. even if the sale is over by now their dresses are reasonable prices as is. good luck:)
i agree with thepurpleone- definitley look into edison/highland park. it is such a wonderful growing community
it seems that damoshe’s idea is a crowd favorite. however, many women who usually do most of the shopping are usually coming with most of their kids to go shopping. it is too hard to bring 5 of a product all the way to the cashier to see which is cheaper. its not practical. if it is a person shopping by themselves with no time constraint, like rushing because the kids day camp is almost over, then do damoshes’s idea
Boys have lists of resumes and can go out with a girl whenever he wants usually. Girls wait months for one boy to choose their resume out of the many that they have to even get a date. Girls usually say yes to boys who say yes to them because they can’t afford to be too picky because who knows when the next date will come
yeah if she didnt die first! and the whole point of leaving the country is so she can prove that she hasnt been in israel for more than 3 months at a time, so she needs her passport stamped
you think the jordan river would have split for her or she would have to pay for a flight cuz eppis then its not worth it ya know?
when i went to seminary, what one girl did was she that i think the rule is that you dont need a student visa unless you are there for 3 months or more. Every 3 months or so she would leave the country. it sounds annoying but it ended up working out because she went home for pesach and then twice she just went to one of the greek islands, that is an hour flight from israel, for the day. hatzlacha
what’s really the problem here is that all through high school its always the bad girls that are “at risk” that get the attention, while the good girls “probably don’t have problems” so they are left out of the loop. If we stopped learning only about not to hang out with boys 24/7 and maybe sneak in an hour of dating tips and what to look for in a spouse, there would be less awkward dating and girls/boys would feel like they have an outlet to discus things like dating and not feel like they have to do it upclose and personal in pizza stores on motzei shabbos!
