i wouldn’t recommend nachlas for her. she will probably feel uncomfortable there. maybe look into seminar.
I for one find it odd that all the ppl who commented have accounts that were all just created or cant be found.
and they all sound like advertisements for the school. and I agree with mitzvoslover. I have heard that a lot of the girls there have issues that make it hard fro a healthy girl to have an awesome yr.
as to everyone whos saying that a girl who wants to get to yerushalaym and the kotel can. you cannot compare it to living there. how often can they possibly travel? unless theyre never in class. in yerushalyim a short break is enough time to get there and back for most locations. and you can go at night. also you cant possibly compare the environment of rbs to yerushalayim. its worlds apart and the kedusha in yerushalyim is amazing and cant be compared!!!! yes theres other stuff going on but a girl who wants that will easily find it in rbs without a problem.
momonabudget please please consider your daughters future without only thinking of finances. the school makes a huuuuge difference and its imperetive that it be a good fit for her. hatzlacha rabah!!!
i would look into it very carefully. it could be a wonderful place but it does attract an interesting group of girl. not saying bad but interesting.
also take into consideration that its not in yerushalayim which I would see as a big negative but your daughter may or may not feel that way. the atmosphere in rbs (where its located) is very different than the atmosphere is in yerushalyim. and yes she can go for shbbs but its not the same as living there and having the kotel right there and everything else that yerushalyim has to offer.
you said who dates not who marries. and yes i know ppl who date not to get married
about “huh? Who dates not 4 the purpose of marriage?”
observanteen- are you serious?????
its only too late for the really popular sems which it doesnt seem as if shes looking for such a sem anyways. alot of sems have late applicants
what do you mean by modern
lookin4sem, it depends what type of sem are you looking for?
idk i was guessing midreshet tehillah
observateen sometimes helping is just being there. you dont have to have all the answers and nor do you have to be a therapist. yes it’s painful to watch and not be able to activly help but just being there as a friend is helping even if it doesnt seem that way. as for kiruv there are teenagers in kiruv just look at the kiruv camps. ive been there and some girls are amazing and for some girls yeah its not for them and the girls who were amazing werent neccessarily cool or had all the answers they were genuine and if someone asked a question and they didnt have an answer they tried to get them one they didnt make one up. they were themselves and thats the key to being successful.
how can you be to good of a friend? although if youre problem was that you were trying to change her than yeah i can understand what happened. you shouldnt be the one to help them. you should just be a friend nothing more. so rikki should not be discussing it with her brother unless he brings it up and even then only discuss it if she feels she can.
ok observateen maybe you shouldnt be around such ppl but thats not for everyone. it’s like kiruv not everyone can do it bec they might be influenced. but if youre thrust into it its a different situation. if it’s your brother or your friend it’s different than making a decision to be around such people. it’s wrong to just drop people. it may be hard but you should be there for them. when someone is going through a hard time they need people who care about them. if you cant be there for them and genuinly care for them then maybe you werent such a good friend in the 1st place if that’s what’s makeing it or breaking it. and especially a brother. he’s a brother for life you cant just get rid of him.
such a person should try to connect to them through other things you dont neccessarily need to connect through religion.
so rikki maybe try to find something in common and have a relationship through that.
observateen, i disagree youre only influenced if you want to be. i have friends who do things i would never do and thats that. i still respect them, bec they happen to be amazing ppl, but i dont approve of what theyre doing and they know that bec ive made it clear to them. if you know the difference between right and wrong then youll make the right decisions the same way i do and tons of others do on a constant basis.
yep it happened like 35-40 yrs ago
theyre both chilled by’s. girls do come in listening to not jewish music and watching though cl ii believe does go through your ipod to take off notjewish music and movies while meohr doesnt but girls do bring it in. i do believe that by the end of the yr in both schools most girls come out not wanting to listen or watch anymore. meohr has about 90 girls while cl is somehwere bet 50 to 75 depending on the yr. cl does get email not sure about meohr. both schools do have a connection with teachers and i know in cl its like we’re here you could talk you or you could just shmooze whatever you want theres no pushing. meohr dorms are crowded but livable and cl just moved to a dorm this yr before it was in apartments so i have no idea how thats working out. cl gives lunch and supper forsure i heard that since they moved they also get breakfast but i have no idea if its true. and idk about meohr (just in casse you havent noticed i know alot more about cl than meohr but its bec i applied there sooooo….)
actually it happened in the summer so they werent going skiing and its not so hard to be shomer on a ski lift it can easily fit 4 ppl and they close long before it gets dark in the summer
so i applied to cl and was thinking about applying to meohr so meohr doest really do rules they believe in using a trust system which i do believe for the most part does work. theyre also mainly hashkafa, but serious thinking type not fluff,although they have gotten a drop more academic by adding some more textual classes over the yrs but still not massivly academic. as for cl they have some rules like no ben yehuda after dark, no going over the green line basically use common sense and dont get killed. also meohr doesnt have a dress code for class and cl does and they both have curfews i believe. as for the academics in cl so theyre in class alot but get alot less work as the tradeoff. the classes are on a high intellectual level and they are tracked so you can be in a higher or lower track depending on your ability and what you want. with girls they seem to attract similar girls but im still a drop confused about that bec no offense but meohr seems more newyorky and jappy while cl is suppose to be more outoftowny
k thats it for now maybe try posting specific questions it works better
so basically the story is that they went on the ski left it was the end of the day and the controller person didnt check to make sure it was empty and left so they were stuck about 30 ft above ground. she decided to jump. she broke her leg but somehow or other managed to drag herself to the booth and call for help. she sued i forgot if she won or not and no they did not get married (i heard this from a reliable source but cant post it bec it would identify me)
