Which Seminaries are known for focusing more on Hashkafa?

good meaning what exactly?!

Nachlas! Just what u’re looking for although she might also know a few rambans!

Afikei torah is a wouderful seminary the girls have great middos and will never ever talk to a boy walking down geulah on friday afternoon.http://www.afikeitorah.org/

I wouldnt say no to a girl based on what seminary or school she went to. Look at the girl as a whole…

Then again most Gateshead products will not be thrilled to have their husband to be on the internet so often as WIY..

Sorry I had to say that!

not 1: it really depends which sem in gateshead the girl goes to. gateshead old is more into learning miforshim since its a teacher training college. and on the other hand gateshead new is more haskafa and preparing a girl for marriage rather then teach her all miforshim. (and gateshead new has internet;))

In truth, the best seminary is the home.

As a mother of sons, whose daughter in laws went to different seminaries, down the road what they saw at home is very important. Yes, they went to seminaries as Gateshead, BJJ, B.Y. of Boro Park and even to no seminary but what they saw at home comes through the most.

Machon Bais Yaakov, with no affiliation to it, is known to prepare the girls for the real world. Not only that, but the principal is there for his students even many years after they left school.

Hatzlocha Rabba young man and discuss this with your Rosh Yeshiva and follow what he tells you. Remember shlepping with the dating for years goes against Shmiras Aynayim. Perhaps let your parents come along on the first date and listen to what they have to say, not what your friends tell you.

Popa is the seminary expert!!!

Obviously Sharfman’s, as evidenced by their proximity to the sanhedria caves.

Who else thinks WIY and Sac are flirting in the CoffeeRoom? Time to meet up for your slurpee shidduch date!

sacrilege

i thought ur last statement was out of line.

its first of all, not entirely true, and while monotony in judaism is a topic to be discussed, possibly, your comment was very much a generalization and slightly offensive.

i do not think that WIY’s criteria contradict each other. such people do exist (yourself included :))

thanks.

SJS

If you thought this is how I flirt… we have a problem.

WIY

I didnt say it was impossible, I said Good Luck, meaning it will be hard. BY isnt exactly known for teaching girl how to think on their own…

Pet Peeve

I’m sorry you were offended, the truth does hurt. I didnt sat EVERYONE was like they I said

“To me its important that the person I marry understands what being Jewish is all about. Its not enough to just know what to do and go through the motions”

will be hard to find. I’ll be honest, I have a hard time finding that in a run of the mill Yeshiva guy.

sac,

ok i hear you, not offended, just saying, please dont cast blanket statements in such a flippant manner.

yes, the BY system has a stereotype of producing blind sheep. we can all agree there are plenty exceptions to this rule. especially from my aforementioned list of sems.

WIY – my daughter went to a seminary not particularly emphasizing hashkafa yet, she told her brother she is not interested in a boy who went to a particular yeshiva simply because everyone does. While I know that in this “boys market” girls cant be picky, I would like to know why girls have to justify their choice of seminary which really doesn’t reflect who they are or what they believe, practice or understand, but boys don’t. I’d like to see you define a “Lakewood” boy. My daughter made a serious decision about which seminary to go to that had nothing to do with where “the best girls go”, I hope her chosson will have done the same.
