November 25, 2013 8:32 am at 8:32 am #611377no longer need seminaryMember
Any Info? Besides for the fact that they have 3 streams which sounds amazing
November 25, 2013 4:55 pm at 4:55 pm #1041232VogueMemberThere 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.

November 25, 2013 6:17 pm at 6:17 pm #1041234popa_bar_abbaParticipantbest part, worst part, but who’s counting
November 25, 2013 8:45 pm at 8:45 pm #1041235🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantOkay, bud. NOW you’ve crossed the line.
November 26, 2013 5:48 am at 5:48 am #1041236no longer need seminaryMemberlike what kind of girls are there?
November 26, 2013 7:25 pm at 7:25 pm #1041237VogueMemberAll 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.
November 26, 2013 8:13 pm at 8:13 pm #1041238higuysMemberBe extra Careful if applying to Ateres.
November 26, 2013 9:12 pm at 9:12 pm #1041239🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantI don’t think many hanna sachs girls have been there recently. they have become a touch less modern, but they are really more about where you are going than were you are at.
November 26, 2013 9:56 pm at 9:56 pm #1041240VogueMemberThere were three girls from hanna sacks that went last year.

November 27, 2013 11:27 am at 11:27 am #1041243no longer need seminaryMemberhiguys-why?
November 27, 2013 8:35 pm at 8:35 pm #1041244higuysMemberIt’s not right For me to posT oN public forum, but there are things to be wary of. Perhaps check threads I have posted/started.
November 29, 2013 8:07 am at 8:07 am #1041245SWATthatflyMemberDoes anyone know if the Ateres interview person comes to LA? Last year I don’t think (s)he did.
December 1, 2013 4:35 am at 4:35 am #1041246hodulashemParticipantHiguys, just want to mention that there might be people that are curious as to what you are referring to but will not take the time to search and read through forums that you started or posted in… in my opinion, just saying “be careful” without an explanation just sends out negative vibes about the place without giving anyone specific reason to think negatively about them… I know Ateres’ hanhala personally, as well as MANY of their recent alumni, and I haven’t heard any reason to be “concerned” or “careful” when applying. Please be careful not spread a bad name for no reason… and if you do have a reason, be clear about it
December 2, 2013 1:25 am at 1:25 am #1041247no longer need seminaryMemberthank you hodulashem. I was not going to check higuys posts but i did have some reconsidering feelings about the place from that comment.
December 2, 2013 2:13 am at 2:13 am #1041248🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantMy daughter was very happy there and I was impressed with the way they handled some of the difficult situations they were faced with that year when girls didn’t follow through with their contracts. Higuys may have legitimate complaints, but we don’t really know, and we shouldn’t use that to sway us.
December 2, 2013 2:21 am at 2:21 am #1041249writersoulParticipantMaking it easy to find makes it harder not to look for it.
December 2, 2013 1:13 pm at 1:13 pm #1041250NechomahParticipantI had heard only good things about Ateres, but a person should also know the risks involved when investing the amount of money seminaries demand plus other risks not readily known.
December 2, 2013 3:36 pm at 3:36 pm #1041251writersoulParticipantMods: yes, but personally, as a girl looking into seminaries, I like to be well-informed. I may not take it into account, but I like to know. (And trust me, I don’t take everything into account. Not everything is necessarily relevant or important or accurately presented. But I still like to know.)
Also, my suggestion wasn’t exactly rocket science.
My only (or at least main) point was to defend higuys as everyone was accusing her of making a statement without backing it up.
December 2, 2013 3:47 pm at 3:47 pm #1041252Derech AgavParticipantIT’S important to look at the ‘products’ of a seminary as well as the backgrounds of the girls they are taking. based on the background is how the sem gives over their messages….
December 2, 2013 4:02 pm at 4:02 pm #1041253the-art-of-moiParticipantWhat happened with higuys is something that no one on the cr can judge ateres for. We don’t know why they did what they did, we don’t have ANY real info. So if you were thinking of going to ateres and you changed your mind because of this, please don’t. We don’t know what went on there and we cannot judge.
And as a side note-
higuys, you just made it very easy for someone to discover your true identity…
December 2, 2013 6:10 pm at 6:10 pm #1041254writersoulParticipanttaom: yes, that’s why I said that it probably wouldn’t factor into my decision (if I were considering Ateres, which I’m not) but it’s still good to know. My point was more that people were attacking higuys.
December 2, 2013 8:56 pm at 8:56 pm #1041255NechomahParticipantMods, I’m wondering why my link was not included in my post. It was a coffee room link. Did you not feel that it was le’toeles?
correct
December 3, 2013 2:13 am at 2:13 am #1041257graphix_girlMemberA good site for finding out info about seminaries is seminary & beyond. its for people in high school but also for girls who came back from sem so you can get a good idea of the types of girls that go to a certain seminary…
November 12, 2014 12:37 am at 12:37 am #1041258mitzvahgirl613Participanthey guys im a little nervous now about ateres because of all these posts… but I am looking into it and I would prefer some insight about what its like and what type of girls it has, hashkafa or text based, more academic or less and if im stranded for a Shabbos or yom tov will they help with the placing’s? thanks guys!!
