don’t think so- but i’m not sure- it should say in the rules and guidelines they sent you to sign- but like i said- new principal, new rules
We didn’t have one- everything just had to be tznuis and not crazy- they didn’t really like babydoll tops though. We just had finals- which really weren’t bad- we only had 5 or 6- because those were the classes we got credits for- there were quizzes and preperaton sheets though- and you have a different principal so I can’t say it will be the same!
last year there were 28, this past year (my year) there were 60,- so I really don’t know how many girls- but i think they want about 40.
on rosh hashanah and yom kippur we were in school- you could get permission to go out if you have family- they find places for you to daven- but you have to pay for your seat- some meals will be given in school and some you can eat out if you want- or you can also asked to be placed somewhere to eat- and succos first days we were in school- we had our own sukkah and some of the faculty ate with us- and we also ate by their houses. second days you can go out- but the dorm was open if a group of girls wanted to stay in! Hope all this helps!!!
i would say landsend- they r not cheap but they r worth it- i borrowed someones from other yrs- all i had to do was alter them a little and dry clean them once- not a bad price- it came out pretty cheap per shirt-
1)don’t know about the dorm because they are moving- but you would be surprised what you eventually get used to and could live with! but i don’t think you should worry about that- they r working on getting good dorms.
2) the food was AWESOME!!!
3) we had a dress code- button downs- pleated skirt- at least 3 inches below the knee- any cardigans etc. sweatshirts cant have words-
4) you are talking to one of them!!! they r awesome!!! trust me!!
golearntorah- but it counts the most!! lol- can you tell i’m a new yorker?
middlepath- thanks- and thanks for the welcome- but its more of a welcome back!- i started getting addicted to the coffee room- so i took a long break- but i posted some stuff towards the very beginning of the thread- and i have a lot more- i just think they are a little lame cuz i wrote them in 10th grade-
switch some of the water for seltzer- some but not all- this should help it rise better
Friendship; connection,
lost and found,
strong as ever; never sever,
a bond; forever,
distance; makes it stronger,
meet; as though no time has past,
Time has come; Time has gone,
Time to start anew,
renew old; start afresh,
bond together,
our friendship will always stand!
I feel as though I’m drowning,
lost in a pool of confusion,
grasping the friendship,
pulling it up,
salvaging it,
lost; left out; despair,
every call I make,
calling out,
Help me! See me! Save me!
An open book awaits,
A new page,
A fresh start,
Pen poised,
Waiting,
Boldly jump in,
A clean page,
The story,
Waiting to be written,
Pen Scribbling,
Writing the story,
The story of life,
Book after book,
each book a new stage,
each page a new story,
A new book,
A courageous start,
Jump into the unknown,
Forage a path,
Write the book,
Start a new,
Constantly progressing,
Moving forward,
Continue,
It’s time,
Time to start anew,
A new book,
A new stage,
A new stage of life awaits!!
lord and taylor- and all the places hudi mentioned-
happy2bme- I’m getting credit from Touro- so are a lot of my friends- I have 18 credits from them which is the max you can get per semester
Lahav is a place to learn and grow- they only accept people who they feel already have the will to do that- and they teach them the tools-
if its ur only chance- take it! you can make it academic if you want- it’s not part of the israel option but you can still get regular transfer credits- it’s basically just a few less than the israel option and ur marks dont go on ur permanent transcript as numbers- only as pass or fail- so it won’t ruin a good transcript-
you are right- I didn’t realize that- I always make the mistake of send and sent- I don’t know why but every time I write sent I change it automatically to send and its one of those things that spell check doesn’t pick up! 😉
happy2bme- to lahav? or to israel at all? if its not too personal- y?
Senior License- it depends- with touro i am getting 18 credits because lahav is only one semester- some of my friends did mji and they r also getting credits- you get them based on your marks- for touro its just a pass or fail that matters because its not the israel option- its just stam transfer credits- if you want you can email the office at [email protected]
it depends- there is a new principal now so i don’t know how the academics will be but if you were accepted they obviously feel you can handle it. and they care more about the will to learn than the ability to learn. if you want to do it you can- and if you can’t they will help you do as much as you can to the best of your ability. if you want it to be demanding and difficult- and stress about it you can. but last year most of the girls were pretty chilled about it- including me. there were a few girls though who did make it difficult for themselves. I don’t think there will be an option- but i don’t know. yom tov we stayed together except for 2nd days sukkos where girls either asked to be placed or had their own places. on a typical shabbos if it’s not a shabbaton you can find your own place, go with friends, or asked to be placed, the dorm does remain open if there are a few other girls who want to stay also. but if not they try to help find someplace to sleep also. Hope this helped! 🙂 if you have any more q’s you know where to find me! 😉
hate to break it to you but my spelling was just fine. It was my grammar that I didn’t check correctly before I send it.
don’t mean to be nosy but did the letters come yet?
Amen! but i have to say that maybe getting rid of ur facebook account might be a good kabala to take on- you would be surprised how much it has an effect- i know quite a few stories of ppl who said i need xyz or this and this is happening- and i’m going to get rid of my account as a zechus for …… and a little while after things changed- i’m not saying its magic or anything- they obviously davened also- but you never know- and i’m not saying facebook is bad- i am one of the first to admit that it does have some maalos if it is used properly (as does everything else)
and also- one small correction- why the “or” why not an “and”?
“I’m proud to be an AMERICAN!”-
Ken Zayn- its because we American’s don’t need to prove that we dominate- (you can kind of tell just by the spelling and lack of grammar whose American and whose not!)
Mrs, Ullman was never there- Mrs. Soloff was principal and will not be nxt yr. they have someone else- don’t remember what her name is but i heard she is really great- Mrs Soloff was also a rlly good principal 🙂
never heard of that one- but i can tell u that dkny apple be delicious- (red bottle) is really good- and so is d&g- blue
db vs mich.- i think mich. has a better chance of getting bais yaakov girls- a lot of girls i know were deciding whether the should go to mich or mesores rachel or bjj or bc- they got into both types of sems- and are now in mich and LOVE every second of it and dont regret their choice- my friends in db only applied to db, machon raaya, me’ore, and some to mich
first of all you forgot Rachminstirske (the spelling of it is hard!)and thank you for the mention of Manestrishtze! yes! it does exist! it is real! second of all just wanted to point out that all chasidus stems from the baal shem tov! and the BS”T is a direct descendant of david hamelech- so its apropo that king david posted the list- (i couldnt resist that point :-))
yups- but i found out who already-
Glad to hear! 🙂 just curious-who was there?
good luck! let us know how it went! 🙂
depends- sometimes we stayed in one place sometimes we didnt- all depended on if that area had a place for all of us to stay together
ontheball- the girls were from bais kaila, machon, mesores, by drav meir, bloppy, bybp, breiwers, by monsey, byramapo, tag, bais shaindel, bnos bais yaakov(lakewood) – and some other schools- most of the girls were the solid by type- but every school has a few girls that are not- thats just the way it works- hope i helped!
happy2bme- breath! relax! don’t be nervous! it was from sept 13th to january 15th- lets see- a typical week was- davening, breakfast and breakfast was at 8:15 (sun-8:30). sunday and monday we had class most of the day- with a 1 or 2 hour break for lunch- then sunday night was vaadim- amazing speakers etc. monday night was kosel class- we had a class about the kosel, or tefillah or whatev- she let us choose what we wanted to focus on and then they took us to the kosel- imagine davening maariv at the kosel every monday night! tuesday morning we had classes and the afternoon we had off and then that night we had chaburos (going to teachers houses-) wednesday morning we had class- then lunch then a class on kuntrus hachesed and then we had chesed which you can either find your own family or they will place you- and every once in a while we had group chesed- like yad eliezer (tomche shabbos) or aleh (special childrens facility) and then that night we had regular classes and study hall- they give you plenty of time to do the work they give with tutors and so that you dont have to do it on your own time! THURSDAY! my favorite day! tiyul day! they have the most awesome tiyuls! they make eretz yisroel and your classes come alive while still having an amazong fun factor! friday you might have classes or you might not- it depends on what time shabbos is. shabbatons- they took us to bnei brak, sorotzkin/ meah shearim, ramat shlomo, arad, tzfas etc! they were a lot of fun and great experiences! lets put it this way if i had the choice all over again i would still pick LAHAV! even though it was a half year everyone takes everything in and adjusts right away and when you leave you dont feel like your leaving in middle- you feel completion- if this is your only oppurtunity to go to sem in israel- grab it! and even though i had whole year options i still would pick lahav all over again! any other q’s or concerns?
lahav can’t be compared to any other school! thats the whole beauty of it- it has no type! i was just there and came back last week. it was AMAZING! (sry to sound typical) it is not your typical school you grow and internalize so much and make choices on your own about who you want to be- no pressure from anyone- They hand you the tools for growth and life its up to each girl as to how they want to use it! and- what conflicting reports- care to share? maybe i can help clear them up?
i’m assuming ur from lakewood because the interviews are there tom.! dont worry, relax! be yourself! it doesn’t really feel like an interview its more of a discussion most girls come out feeling great! let us know how it goes! and if you have any q’s about it i’m all answers!
” In a dimly lit pool hall, clouds of smoke hung low, the smell of leather jackets mixed with cheap cologne…”- best song evr
the only real dif btwn bs and bc is that bs is the girls come from a more yeshivish backround- not by that much though- and only a minority of bc isjappy- but define jappy- b/c my meaning is jappy can also still be nice- its not neccesarily a bad thing- its just dif
figuringitout- i guess you must have doen your research because those 4 you said pretty much fit what you described- i say apply and leave the rest in His hands- He has his mysterious ways of putting you where you need to be- i speak from exprience- just send in those apps and breath a sigh of relief! cant wait to hear what you decide! good luck!!!
speaking as someone in israel now- seminar and bya sound up your alley-
leah222- michlala has plenty of by type girls- the girls in my grade who went there are very by type- they also applied to bnos chava, bnos sara, a few also got into bjj and mesores rochel-
gumball- it’s spelled LAHAV!
yid2618- gumball is right, it sounds like you are describing Lahav, its in its 2nd year, and it’s an amazing program!
If u don’t mind a half yr lahav is BEYOND AMAZING
it really depends on the person- some people find it really hard to learn and some people find it harder to work- sometimes there are people who feel like they need to see the fruits of their labor right away and therfore learning is to hard for them becaus it can take a very long to see the end result and their are other people who enjoy waiting until they see their long term benefits. physically speaking i would say working is harder.- especially for those who work and then whenever they have free time learn- there are people who will get up at 5 daven and learn- go to work- come home have supper daven maariv and then learn some more- that is defenitly the hardest- but i’d say the reward is greater in the end
there is machon basya rochel- in fr
there is also machon, bais yaakov half day, and bais yaakov intensive in bkyln
power was out since 730 am- now just turned back on- damage is not so bad- i dont know about damage from inside houses though- there was looting on cedar lawn- and a few failed attempts of lootin in bayswater and reads lane- BH” ppl were suspicious tackled them and called the cops!
@ moskidoodle- that means there is a mod that watches movies as the mods write the subtitles- and they usually dont let you pick yours-
high school- sounds scary but its really not that bad- u just might actually have to study once in a while- it might take some time to adjust but you get used to it eventually- if you are going with friends thats good but make sure to give them some space to grow and give you a chance to make more friends!!! bpt is right though they do focuse on seminary- and i will say this once DO NOT WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF 11TH GRADE AND REALIZE YOU ARE NOT GETTING INTO SEM BECAUSE IN 9TH AND 10TH YOUR GRADES WERE HORRIBLE!- sry i just had to stress that enough because it happened to me and some of my friends- bH the sem i was planning to apply doesnt really focus on grades so much but unfortunatley in my friends case that wasn’t so- so for the last half of 11th grade and the whole 12th grade she was killing herself to get perfect scores- her sat was almost perfect- she was smart she just didnt apply herself in 9th and 10th- they realized tht and accepted her only after she promised she would really apply herself in sem- otherwise she can find someplace else- and she is a really great girl!!!! so that is my advice for high school- yes high school is full of fun and activities and achdus and chesed oppurtunities (sry for the spelling) but dont forget the school part- dont kill yourself for it but remeber its there- and most of all go in with a positive attitude!! if you go in with a positive attitude you will come out with one!!
just letting everyone know that contrary to what was stated here previously the dd in th 5towns (cedarhurst/ rkwy tpk)is NOT all cholov yisroel! i was just there today and there was a sign nxt to the menu- saying that the baked goods r NOT cholov yisroel- and neither is the half and half milk- only the skim and regular are cholov yisroel!
kish- lol! nope! its staying this way- besides its only one letter short of my sems initials- and thanx another name 🙂
The only reason I’m nervous is because I am not the outgoing, friend making type- I’m very bad at just starting a friendship- majority of my small group of friends I’ve had since I was little when making friends was much simplier! What to do????
a woman outside bklyn-“Both DD locations in 5Towns serve Cholev Yisrael. That’s the easier part”
– actually by the one by the train- (the one not nxt to berrylicious) you have to ask for chalav yisroel otherwise they wont give you cholov yisroel- and i suggest that even if you are not makpid- still ask for it and show them its appriaciated (please excuse my bad spelling!) that way they realize the demand for it!
Restart life? Mine’s just beginning!!! 🙂 I’d like to be a MOMMY and a graphic designer!! but mommy will ALWAYS come first!
i think kylbdnr might have gotten confused- arthur is on channel 13- pg 13 is something else- is that what you meant? because arthur would never ever be rated pg13
mommamia22- moskidoodle is right- and 1st of all i said i don’t want a tv in my house- doesn’t mean i don’t have one right now- even though i try very hard to ignore it- and ya i can watch on my computer- but there is so much more i’d rather do on it- so maybe i will end up not watching- but its more by default
