1) How did you raise enough money to cover all your spending money in sem?
2) What cell phone plan is the best in EY in terms of service and price?
All I know about Chedvas is that its shana bet for American girls, however they might also have quite a number of Israeli girls going there for shana alef. I’m in twelth grade now and I have a friend my age who is planning on going to Chedvas next year (they are one of the only sems who allow girls living in Israel for some reason). My friend told me they don’t have tests or homework (I could check that with her again if you want)and they are mostly a BY crowd- more so that Pninim.
Thats all I know- hope it helps… 🙂
I think she’s talking about AtereT- it makes more sense with Darchei Binah, no?
My favorites are Handel (water music), Tchaikovsky (nutcracker suite) and Vivaldi (spring).
My more modern-day favorites are Yanni (one man’s dream) and Yiruma (a river flows in you). (Yanni and Yiruma are very classical-style.)
I LOVE classical music!! 😀
Oh… That’s annoying. You’ve tried it?
So if I go aboard, I’m not considered part of an American collage?
Lets say I’ll get credits through Touro next year; I think Touro tuition is aprox $900 for your seminary year (if your planning on taking credits). Could I get a collage scholarship? If I could, would it only go toward the $900 I’m paying Touro or could it also go toward the rest of seminary tuition??
If I apply to online scholarship programs, do I also need to be enrolled in a collage (or get collage credits through the seminary) in order to receive scholarships from types of programs like scholarshipexperts.com (they say they are collage scholarships but could seminary be considered my first year of collage?) thanks… sorry it my thoughts aren’t so clear…

Why does it say they are not taking any more applications?? I’m so confused!!
do all seminaries take these scholarships?
I’m not really understanding. Which scholarship programs did you apply to? I just have to find them online? And the amount you got covered your full tuition plus more?
Is it true that you can only get a scholarship if you’re an amazing student? Is there any good scholarship I could get without that?
Are you trying to get full tuition coverage? I don’t think that’s possible…

Hi! I just discovered that I’m going to have my interview for Seminar with Mrs. Flam pretty soon.
Does anyone remember what types of questions are asked? I hear there are some sems that ask VERY wierd questions… and I would need to prepare for them.
If you remember any specific questions that would be VERY helpful. (Weird or not.)
And is there any specific traits Seminar is looking for?
Yummy, rugelach! Are they the soft or flaky type? How long do they take to make?
Yes, Obama. He is currently working day and night through dark and light, rain, hail, sleet, snow, etc. TRYING with all his might to finally find a solution to the shidduch crisis.
My sister’s getting married soon! 🙂
What we learned in Halacha class is that if it looks like bread and tastes like bread– guess what, it’s bread. If it’s eaten with a meal-like filling (tuna, cream cheese, egg, etc.) no one can get away with calling it a snack. Technically, if you take 2 slices of marble cake and eat them with tuna in between, you have to make a hamotzi. We were taught that really people should wash on pizza, because its generally eaten as a meal, whether you have 1 slice or 2, and it has a “meal-like filling” (cheese and sauce)but that’s a machlokes. Even it a person has a certain amount of, say, cake (don’t know the amount- but a lot) they even have to wash on that (even if its just for a “snack”).
As you see, this gets complicated. I suggest you ask your rabbi how he paskins.
Well, why don’t you share the doughnut recipe with us? I was actually looking for a good one…
I hope so! Thanks a ton 🙂
Well what if you can’t read properly under pressure? Do they understand? And is it a big issue if you can’t translate something?
Do you know who does interviews for NY? Thanks so much!
Laffy taffy wrapper:
What do you call something that makes music on your head?
a headband HAHAHA
🙁 No I’m not exactly the biggest fan of corny jokes lol
I was actually about to start a topic just like this. I applied to Seminar and I would really like to know what the interview will be like!
ATT. SEMINAR GIRLS: What type of questions are asked? Do they make you read? If so, what? Like just Chumash text or Rashi, Ramban… And the interviewer is male or female? Intimidating? Do they mostly want to ask lots of questions or get into a conversation with you and let you do all the talking?
loveparty, did you apply to Seminar too?
And what type of grades do you need to get into BYA?
On Black Friday only electronics are on sale? If I need a gown for a simcha would I be able to get it on a Black Friday sale?
loveparty, Nachlas is a great place. Yes I have heard that it is very yeshivish… and I think you need a pretty high average to get in. They are looking for amazing girls, the location is a dream, and the dorms are gorgeous. That’s just about all I know about Nachlas.
bygirly, that’s actually really funny because I was ALMOST 100% sure that I know you too. Hints, perhaps?
Here’s my hint… I think we should take you to a rabbi! 🙂
Aha– does that mean that there ARE girls with those problems?
Yes good question, bygirly (if I may say so). I’m looking for the same info on Seminar. HELP?!?!
Just you wait and see. Obama will somehow find a way to repeal the amendment that states that a president can only have 2 terms. This guy found a way to somehow pass an unconstitutional law that requires mandatory healthcare, and more. He’s capable of anything and next thing you know, he’ll be president for the next 30 years, chas v’sholom. Goodbye America.
“Newest: 90% of Bnos Obama’s Alumnae engaged a month after return from seminary.”
Well, one thing that I do know about Meohr (from a girl who is there this year) is that R’ Greenwald made it very clear that no iPods will be tolerated. (with or without Jewish music.) That’s what I was told anyway.
Hold on– your in seminary? And online? Am I missing something here?
I never knew Meohr has internet!!
Lahav is a 4-month program. you get back home in time for 2nd semester in collage.
A friend of mine who is a really good girl is applying to MMY. I don’t know much about it, but it really is out of town, with really nice girls. I also heard that it’s quite Zionistic. Good luck 🙂
How many girls are in Seminar this year?
Hi! I will also IM”H be applying to Seminar! YAYY! What’s the difference between Seminar and Ateres? They sound very similar… And are the dorms nice?
