Anyone know anything about neve? i know someone who wants to go their and their a frum girl that never went to seminary?
I am personally familiar with Neve. They are a great school, and they do take Frum girls. A lot of girls from Frum backgrounds gain a lot from Neve as they give things that “regular” schools don’t. What is this girl like religiously and what is she looking for in a school? I am very familiar with many programs, so I may be able to advise.
Neve is a great place! Maybe you should consider it for yourself.. I think you might really like it!
Last I heard, Neve stopped taking in ffb girls and is only accepting bts and girls who are not yet religious. I’m not 100% sure, and there may be exceptions, but I’ve heard this from some people at Neve. There used to be another track in Neve called Shalhevet, but that closed this year too. But, I do know of someone who never went to seminary, who is planning on attending Maalot on the Neve campus. Officially it’s a shana bet program, but there are sometimes girls in their 20s who attend too.
My mom was a frum girl who went to Neve. Of course, this was a long time ago but I think at that point it was mostly frum girls, actually. Most of them were more frum than she was and were trying to “mekarev” her to become like them!
“Last I heard, Neve stopped taking in ffb girls and is only accepting bts and girls who are not yet religious”
I wonder if this is old information or not 100% accurate. I heard that many years ago, but I know for a fact that app. still 6 years ago, they still had ffb girls though. What you are probably referring to is the fact that they don’t love having ffb girls and are hesitant to accept them. But they definitely did take several of them.
Their concern is that sometimes the ffb girls who go to Neve are very immature, especially if they are 18 or 19 year olds who did not “make it in the Yeshiva system.” Sometimes they are rebellious girls who just want to have a roof over their heads while they party all night.
However, it does not sound like friend is like that. It sounds like she is a mature girl who sincerely wants to learn, so I think it is kidai for her to go ahead and apply.
lilmod ulelamaid, I am talking about new policies made this year. I heard this from both a Neve madricha and a former Neve student. Neve has had a major turnover this past year both in staff and approach. Again, worth a try to ask them, as I haven’t heard this from the principal’s mouth myself, but this is what I heard.
Sparkly, I don’t know about that. I guess the best thing to do is contact them. I can’t post any links, but do a search for Neve Yerushalayim, you can contact them through their website.
I know a few sems on neve campus for ffb.
gofish: “lilmod ulelamaid, I am talking about new policies made this year.”
Sorry, I didn’t realize that. I don’t know what’s been happening there the last 6 years. I thought that your info might be old cuz I heard that many years ago.
It does sound like this girl’s case might be different. I think the best thing for her to do is just to apply w/o asking too many questions beforehand.
Shopping 613- the sems for ffb’s on Neve Campus are mainly for girls right out of high school so they wouldn’t be appropriate for this girl. However, the fact that there are other ffb’s on campus might make her feel more comfortable.
Sparkly – since I don’t know her, I can’t say. Also, I haven’t been there in 6 years, so I don’t know what it’s like now. Based on my experiences there in the past and the information you have told me about her, my guess is that she would. It is a very friendly, warm environment, and there are different types of girls/women from different types of backgrounds. Since she never went to Yeshiva, she might find that in some ways she is similar to the other students there.
But again, gofish said that it is very different now. So she may need to find out more about what it is like now. It is probably kidai for her to apply and set up an interview, and then she will find out more on the interview.
If Neve turns out not to be shayich, Midreshet Rachayl or Shearim might be good choices. But I also have not had contact with them in years, and don’t know what they are like now.
