Moq,
Most scholarships for seminaries arent from the school and many are academic based.
Paschabechachama –
“Are all the teachers from the same background, or do they have real variety? (Because otherwise even without direct hashkafah lessons, they are definitely presenting it a certain way.)”
Stop trying to push your agenda 😉
They have quite a variety actually (which is ironic, based on the fact that it is such a small town) There is Rebitzen Ausband, I was lucky enough to be there while Rebitzen Sorotzkin was still alive (to some being in their presence is enough to come to the Seminary…) There are Rabbonim (pretty choshuva ones, and shockingly open minded) and then there are the women teachers who are all extreme intellects and thats what they do, it was just hard for me to relate…
Whatrutalkinabt –
You are making as big blanket statement as the next person by saying that people grow in E’Y, Seminary level learning rivals that of H.S. …. I dint go to Seminary in Israel but my sisters did (top flight ones I might add) and they said that the work was not harder than in High School and the teachers in H.S. where just as good if not better. I think everyone really has to take a good hard HONEST look at themselves and decide if its what they really need.
Seminaries are all pushing an agenda if you want to have everyone’s opinion read a book.
Im sorry but $20,000 for seminary is RIDICULOUS.Period.It is simply not fair to the parents who are losing sleep at night worrying how in the world they are going to pay for it. In the majority the girls will come out with great Hashkofos and be great wives and mothers Al Pi Derech HaTorah without having gone to EY for seminary.. I’m not Ch”v knocking going to EY, after they are married, a trip there is essential, but with most parents struggling with all the other expenses it just SIMPLY DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.
“What is the purpose of girls going to Seminary?”
Someone has to memorize every Ramban and Radak in Trei Asar. Who else if not for seminary girls.
Moq:
“Tuition at BY Seminary in BP is about $6,000 a year. The other Brooklyn seminaries are similar. “poppa bar abba” seems to be a virulently anti chasid which is OK with me. You can go ahead and pay $40,000 a year for your daughter in seminary while I pay $6,000 for the same education plus the additional satisfaction of knowing on a daily basis that she and her friends are acting like fine yidishe maidlech. You can allow your highly Torah true values Israeli seminary educated daughter to go out with bunches of boys all over the city trying to find Mr. Brisker Right while our daughters get engaged to a nice chasidish bucher who will sit and learn in kollel for a year or two. Your daughter will finally let you meet the guy after 7-8 dates while you don’t sleep nights worrying. After 2 dates and my daughter saying yeah he looks good, I’ll ask my rebbe and if IYH he says yes brucha v’hatzluche, we’ll make a l’chaim. And all this by the way comes from my yeshivish friends who say they envy my derech. “
This is my all time favorite post at YWN!
Gevaltdike! Hail Chassidim and the Rebbeuh! Brucha V’hatzlucha!”
Considering the great points you tend to make, I feel like I must have missed something in this post. Surely there must be something more intelligent here than intolerant and immature mockery?
