So I just finished going on and on with questions about Ateres, Machon Raya and Meohr in a different post but now after reading your post about Bnos Sara and reports my interest was suddenly sparked again. So Im very confused about Bnos Sara since everyone is telling me something else so maybe if you went there elmos world you can help me get to the bottom of it.
First of all – are the girls there worldly. I come from a family that is probably the strangest combination on the yeshivish spectrum. My parents are extremely ‘yeshivish minded’ people and all my father wants to do is sit and learn but yet you wont find two people who know more about the world. Believe me – they know everything from politics to famous celebrities. So basically my parents believe – if its ok its ok. So for example my brother would learn until 11 o clock every night but yet he is very into sports and he is an avid Jet,Knick and Met fan. (no wise cracks please hehe) Im just trying to give a picture. I grew up watching only the clean movies (disney animations and the like) and of course my family does not listen to non Jewish music. So finding a seminary that fits my family is close to impossible and Im not even bothering to try to find it anymore. So I ended up a combination just like the rest of my family and thats why my school is really puzzled by me I think because Baruch Hashem, Bli Ayin Hara I am a great student – high 90s and I love learning but yet I dont fit into the Yeshivish box that is my school. Im not rebellious but i am five times more worldly then 99% of my school. So back to Bnos sara – is it the type of place that the girls know about the world and are very open minded or do they fit more into that yeshivish stereotype (which I totally respect by the way – its just not me). Whew….Im worn out.
Also – I really dont want to work so hard. Deep classes, intellectually challenged, but not tons of work.
