They are great for the minority of people who actually put money in the meter when we park. For those who tend to take the risk (the majority of locals), it is annoying as they are more likely to get caught. I don’t think they are any problems with it, if you follow the rules it is great. If you can’t afford the quarter, then park on residential streets where there are no meters. I have never gotten a ticket in Cedarhurst, although I park here often. It is just a matter of keeping the law (and Halacha, by the way. Halachically it is stealing to park in a meter spot and not pay…)
Halichos/Bnos Chana is located in the outskirts of RBS and while I am not telling you not to look into it, I would check it out very carefully before deciding. I personally know many people who went there and not everyone comes out having a positive experience, (like most seminaries.) What you have to be careful of, not every girl who goes there is aware of the negative impact it may have had, so proceed with caution, (but certainly look into it.) I am not trying to make them lose their parnassah, but as the saying goes, “forewarned is forearmed.”
I know some people who went there as well as the staff and it is a great place from all that I heard. They are supposed to be very good for the smart people who want a mixture of learning intellectually and philosophy, mostly for beginners and those who need to reinforce their connection.
I have flown Swiss many times and I really enjoy it. El al and Swiss are merged for all flights going in and out of Eretz Yisrael for a few years now, so the security is the exact same, in both directions. At the end of the day you are paying the extra five hundred dollars just so it can say El Al on your ticket. I know many people on my flights who booked through El Al and were on the exact same flight.
I went to BYA and I can tell you it is the best place! The girls are very mixed, usually with half the girls very Yeshivish, and the other half less so, but definitely Beis Yaacov. It is a bit more in towny, though there are always girls from all over, and the staff is amazing! they are all really interested in each girl and are very approachable, from the madrichot through the principal. They are strict in a sense, but you don’t feel it once you are there.
It is an organization that runs programs in the summer in various out of town places. The boys’ one is just boys learning with the men of the community, each one on his level, and the girls run a day camp, as well as try to arrange many other community activities.
Does anyone have any contact info for the seminary, or know anything about it. In particular I am interested in knowing what type of girls are going there, and where they will be located.
The whole top of the page is empty, under the ads, and there are many other gaps throughout, making it very annoying, and hard to follow.
