One of the graduates is planning on going into teaching. If you went to a bais yaakov seminary, you could get a teachers certificate without the controversy. If you are more modern, you could go to stern and get a Jewish education teaching certificate as well. If you want to teach Hebrew language in public schools, you just need to have a teaching degree and pass an exam created by Brandeis, and then you can teach in a public school. What is the point of this program anyway?

They can have the bochurim run purim carnivals to benefit specific programs in the yeshiva, say- the resource room, or smartboards. If you raise money for these individual items, then you don’t have to worry about people saying “why are you raising money for tuition?”

But the one thing we can learn from this is that if we are not willing to accept a female orthodox rabbi/ maharat, that perhaps, the community rebbitzins should become more active in our shuls so that perhaps, this never would have happened.

Where am I from?

I would immediately head to a bais din.

I used it to get into a seminary, and I was miserable there. I regret it, don’t use it.

if your boss signs it, and you give them a chabad calender, then it shows that you could not have possibly made these purchases. Give them lists from the past five years.

Explain to her that if she has an eating disorder, that she is not only risking her life, but she is taking the risk that she might not be capable of having children as a result of the effects having an eating disorder would have on her body, which is a major reason that, for example, when I have a son, G-d willing, of shidduch dating age, I would specifically rule out anyone with the possibility of an eating disorder/ symptoms of an eating disorder for that reason. Additionally, if a woman has an eating disorder, and she does have a child, the child may pick up on the mother’s cues, chas ve’shalom, and decide that not eating is cool as well, and then end up in a bad situation.

This is not the right environment to put oneself into or risk putting future offspring into, so why should she do this to herself?

We should also reach out to college campuses without hillels and open up. Jewish cultural centers for college students where they will have regular access to shabbos hospitality and shiurim by young couples but occasionally bring in other guest speakers for shabbatonim and have kosher food for students to eat.

Because you are paying money so that your children will actually be able to do school work- in public schools, and I have several baal teshuva friends who went through this, instead of other children working around the Jewish kid’s religious holidays, they would just go up to the teacher and accuse the kid of not putting in any effort and my friends would have to get all sorts of people involved every time and if they did not receive special ed services, they weren’t so successful in convincing the teacher they were doing everything they could. So in the end, the religious girls in public school did no group work, no science experiments, and yes, they passed their classes, but they were not prepared for college.

Better you pay tuition for a school that has more days off, yet requires children to do a dual curriculum and where your child is actually able and required to do the school work and the teachers know their schedule, than to have a child in public school. Obviously their are other reasons to send children to day school, but this one is the biggest one.

Nechomah: Not necessarily, I have been wearing the same frames for three years now, and only because my mom keeps on harassing me, I will probably give in and get new glasses. My personal opinion is that if you insist on being in style, then you need to find a way to do it without breaking the bank, such as getting your designer clothes from thrift stores (provided they are in good condition), or get everything on sale. The thing with glasses is that it usually has to do with eye insurance, so assuming everyone who wears glasses has vision covered in their insurance plan, I don’t see what the point of the rule is. And you can get this style for cheaper than hundreds of dollars.

Shul!!!!! Been doing that three out of the last four years

Also, the hamodia posts ads in their classified section, its available online for free on their website.

Where I live, they have plenty of newspaper dispensaries, but most people these days read the paper online and pay for the e-subscription.

Thank you, do you know where I can get these seforim from?

Women can do sherut leumi instead, that is what many dati leumi do.

Thanks Sam

Is he in the tanach? Or is he the gadol hador? If the latter, you can probably at least find him mentioned with anything shas related.
