    Do people actually listen to the freezer rules of BMG? Do the rabbis check if people are going on dates before the freezer is unlocked? Do they take attendance during night seder like it’s 9th grade? this isn’t a troll post.

    As far as I am aware, the freezer rule is mostly kept.

    Although, I heard the hanhala one put up a sign on the bulletin board a few weeks before tu bshvat that said ???? ???? ???? ????? ???? ???? ????

    I have heard of the freezer concept before, but for those of us who don’t know, what is the freezer rules? Just no shidduch dating? Or some other rules as well.

    lakewhut – Like anything in Lakewood – you can only get in trouble if they catch you.

    How can they catch you?

    1. S/o sees you & snitches.

    2. You get engaged before your freezer ends.

    In the second instance it’s worth the chance -as long as you don’t plan on going to Kollel in BMG.

    It probably depends how much tuition you pay.

    loca -“Get in trouble? Seriously?”

    Like I said -if you aren’t going to their Kollel -then do what you want. But if it’s obvious that you broke their rules and want to sit in their Kollel – you can forget about ever getting a Kollel check.

    So if somebody finds his zivug he won’t get a kollel check? Makes sense.

    If I remember correctly from my younger years, if you got caught you were thrown out of the dorm.

    BMG makes the rules and if you want to stay there, you have to obey their rules

    If you are in middle of dating before you enter BMG you are allowed to continue with that girl.

    Of course! 100%! Otherwise, they would get kicked out!

    What is BMG’s official reason for having the freezer? Is it so that the bochorim should fully concentrate on the learning (if so, then why only 6 months?) or is it so that bochorim shouldn’t enroll in BMG mainly because they want a better shidduch?

    #929867

    It makes perfect sense to have a settling in period before getting completely distracted with shidduchim. Other yeshivas have similar policies for college.
