There were three girls from hanna sacks that went last year.
All different kinds ranging from hanna sacks bais yaakov to tag girls. The former often being girls who come from modern homes the latter growing up in very yeshivish homes. But not as yeshivish as hadar. Many girls also apply to seminar.
What does that mean? My friends consider me to be popular, and some say they look up to me, but I choose glasses that make me look like a nerd on purpose. In my case that means I wear raybans with transition lenses and all the real adults who don’t notice me constantly being greeted by people I dont recognize, say I have issues making friends.
See the ateres threads.
There have been multiple threads already made about ateres. Just search them on the site.
From what I know, they have rules about hair. If your hair is past shoulder length, then you need to put it up for class, possibly outside of class as well. You aren’t allowed to go to hang out places after dark such as the tachana hamerkazit, ben yehudah, malcha mall or anywhere. But you are allowed to go to ben yehuda during the day. Based on what I have heard from girls last year, the rules about where you can go can be kind of annoying but even though I didn’t go to ateres (but I interviewed there) I can understand why these rules make sense. I personally bumped into guys I knew from youth groups at ben yehuda and the tachana after dark and they don’t want you to have that nisayon.
Maybe speak to a teacher about it or a school social worker. Also a good thing might be to try asking questions in class. People might be impressed with the questions you ask and compliment you on it and it will make you feel good.
That is why I am going for pharmacy tech and taking a quick detour from school with the goal of eventually getting an MBA in business management. Hopefully, by doing this, I will be able to make a decent amount of money to support myself and a future husband in school. Depending on what your majoring in and how far you are in school, maybe consider taking a similar detour. If you go through certain schools you can still get credit while taking the detour. In my case I will be getting seven credits and since I placed out of a bunch of prerequisites that means I am using elective credits which I will need plenty of because I need more to graduate than most people at my current school, which I am hoping to eventually go back to.
Try seminaries on the neve campus. Since neve is pretty big they probably have a way to accommodate your friend.
Try taking two fifteen minute power walks every day and power walk when you need to go somewhere. I pretty much alway power walk and walk about four miles or more a day, but if you don’t have that much time, take a fifteen minute walk in the morning and one after dinner.if its cold, try doing three sets of 20 sit ups every other day and on alternating days, do three sets of ten push ups and the plank excercise for two minutes.
If you end up going toca secular college try to start at a community college where you can get q certificate such as phlebotomy so that you can have a job and make a decent amount of money while going to a Jewish college. That is what I am doing.
Its run by rabbi segel who ran afikei torah. I would take a look at afikei darchei binah threads for more info since this is its first year as the bais yaakov.
Not everyone can afford to support a husband in kollel and not every woman has the money for a bachelor degree handed to her by her parents… you also need to have a realistic picture. I would love to marry the next gadol hador, but talmidei chachamim are halachically not obligated to do housework and often the families of talmidei chachomim live in poverty, I am not ready to take an oath of poverty by marrying someone in kollel. Nor will I be. My community actually encourages us to marry men in kollel, but I also have to be realistic.
Right but not everyone is able to go to Israel nor is everyone ready for it. I would say that if you are in new york you should for sure go to a seminary outside the tri-state area, but if not Israel, maybe Toronto.
Some people go to law school. Depends on the school. Others go into business.
Maxi health makes a dieting vitamin to take before meals. Its expensive though. And also I am not so motivated because even though I know my weight is an issue. And I know I eat to much junk, my doctor did not say anything about it at my last appointment and I did not want to point it out because I didn’t want to hear her mussar, which is usually about jow I just need to stop drinking soda which according to her, the amount I drink is relatively harmless and I excercise plenty. I try to drink like two to three liters of liquid a day mostly water. Also fruit is important to eat as well as vegetables. When I go to nice restaurants, I try to get salad and soup.
From a girls perspective, I say once you are 25 you should have at least a certificate in sonething useful work full time and continue to have a steady chavrusa in addition to learning daf yomi every morning. It could be a job as a nurses assistant or something like that.
