Reply To: How Can They Be So CRUEL!?

Thank you all for your suggestions and sympathy. Nothing has developed yet and it is getting frighteningly close to next year. I have to say though that this situation is definitely ideal for working on emunah, we seem to have realized painfully that only Hashem is in charge.

A few points – shaarei arazim is not what it used to be, it now consists of very difficult cases, not just “sug beis” as you put it but problem kids who are violent nad many who can’t live at home, not the place for a nice mentch.

Also, the same thing is going on with seminaries, my sister tells me that lots of girls were rejected and were forced to beg and plead or go to much worse seminaries because they were not rich, or yichusdik or smart enough. Apparently, some of these nice Bais Yaakov girls have no other option but to start working or college because noone wants them.

Sam – what do you mean by a home yeshiva? Do you mean home schooling?
