I don’t know why a previous posting by me isn’t here but I’ll try again. Going to a good seminary for a year gives the student time to take responsibilities for herself. She finds her way in Yiddishkeit and more often than not becomes stronger in her love for it. Picking the right seminary is also very important. Make sure before accepting a sweet deal you look into the program and the people who run very thoroughly. Unfortunately we did not do this. The program of 6 months looked too good to be true. This turned out to be a travisty. My daughter moved to another seminary which is a really good fit. She loves it. Unfortunately the previous school will not refund any money. So all I can tell you is to be careful and send your daughters to a highly recommended program.
