i guess it depends on the girl
i feel very fortunate that my 3 Kallahs had that year
i have a son, went to Neve Tzion, in Telzstone, spent a lot of the time reveling on ben yehuda street, nevertheless Eretz Yisroel and his Rabbaim had a profound impact on him. he has been living, learning full time, (and i mean full time)in Yerushalayim ever since.
“is it worth it for parents to spend/borrow that kind of money and take that risk with their daughters neshoma? “
what kind of risk will that Neshama be in, in an american city for that year?
“What conceivable Torah benefit is there to send a girl to seminary in Israel? “
for the first time in two years i disagree with joseph.
all the girls i know who spent a year or more in a makom Kedushah, in the land of Kedusha, in Yerushalayim, the city of Kedusha, in an environment of Yiddishkeit, with far less exposure to goyish media and influences, learning Torah Hashkafa, growing in Yiddishkeit along with close friends, sharing experiences of growth, were profoundly affected in a deep manner. it gave them a foundation strongly rooted in Yiddishkeit which improved their life for the years following that year. this includes my three daughters-in-law, and many of their friends, and other girls i know.
it’s not so much the learning in seminary (which can also be wonderful, or not, depending on the seminary) but it’s the year breathing the air and Neshama of Eretz Yisroel, meeting the Kosel, seeing Holy Eretz Yisroel Yiddin, feeling a belonging to your People, being closer to Hashem, performing the Mitzvohs of The Land.
you have to be licensed
it is a nonprofessional licensed radio operator who can use a radio receiver and transmitter to speak to other hams all over the world
ham is slang for amateur
i almost got a novice license about 45 years ago, but you had to be able to send and receive morse code at that time to be licensed. to much trouble
“but you cannot unkill someone”
not nowadays
it was Shaul, i believe, before he was king, whilst he was looking for his father’s donkeys, stopped to ask directions from a couple of ladies. but the Meforshim say he used as little words as possible and did not engage them in “conversation” other than what was necessary.
you should drink if you have learned and understand why it is a Mitzvah to drink on Purim, and if you do it l’shaym shamayim.
if you do it because you have been influenced by the velt who have come to think of Purim as a time of hefker and unrestrained kalus rosh, you shouldnt drink.
Purim is one of, and perhaps, THE most Kodesh of the times of the year. the yetzer hara expends much energy on misdirecting us regarding Purim because of this.
what kiruvwife said
but i would say the say thing more compactly:
EMUNAH
daven with your whole heart to find YOUR beshert over and over, in your own words.
do not ask for particular details, leave that to the One that is in charge of everything.
that’s the best, tried and tested segulah
dogs are animals
ask almost any dog owner. they love their dog. their dog is a member of the family. their dog doesnt bite. it is only other dogs that bite.
The most recent official survey from the Centers for Disease Control, conducted more than a decade ago, determined there were 4.7 million dog bite victims annually in the USA. A more recent study showed that 1,000 Americans per day are treated in emergency rooms as a result of dog bites. Most of the victims who receive medical attention are children, half of whom are bitten in the face.

40 is for any transformation:
40 years in the Midbar before we were transformed into a nation fit to enter Eretz Yisroel
40 days on HarSinai
40 makkos to transform a rasha into a tahor
40 days for a blob to become a fetus
40 melachos to create the mishkan (40-1 as in the case of makkos, the extra one has to come from the person’s own machshava)
40 seah in the mikvah to make a goy a Jew, a tamei into a tahor.
Mem (40) is the middle letter of the Aleph-Bais which the Boreh used to create smething from nothing. (i made this one up, the others have a mekor.)
40 posts on YW until the thread degenerates.
