I am an intelligent girl, although I have trouble with textual skills (something I want to improve on). I have had experience in all sects of Yiddishkeit as I went to a variety of schools as no oficially “beis yakkov” was available where I live. So I want a seminary that is open-minded and supportive of Israel. Which seminary is best suited to me?
potpie, the only problem is that zeena.kasta said she has trouble with textual skills, in order to get into michlalah you have to pass an entrance exam that is entirely in Hebrew.
That’s not exactly true-although you need to take an entrance exam in Hebrew to get into Michlala, you don’t need to pass it. Plenty of people do poorly on the entrance exam but are still accepted because they have good grades/good interview, etc.
But they also have mandatory classes that are taught entirely in Hebrew. Without a solid Hebrew language/ textual skill, how could she pass the classes? The point is that you can typically get college credits from seminary, as long as you pass the classes. The point is to have her apply to a place where she would be successful.
