    just one inaccuracy, the bricks were made out of limestone and not straw and mud combo. While there are other places in Egypt were mud bricks were found.

    no. incorrect grammer can tell u something about the person online, correct grammer inhibits the expression of people’s feelings.

    I know the girls who are applying to DB, not jappy and not applying to places like Sharfmans!! however they are quite diverse in personality. some obviously will like to party, same in every place (some more than others), but theyre all serious girls, the most intellectual ones in their school. chances are girls in DB are more open minded and accepting than ateres, however ther should be some diversity in Ateres. chances are ateres is not as accepting if u would like a job outside a jewish only workplace (teacher at a jewish school) and not if would like u to marry a guy that works (becuase he only studied in yeshivah for 3 years and went to uni to support his family)…

    If your wrried about Darchei Binah not being friendly, they have a reputation of having a great eim bayit and nice friendly girls from all over the world. they even allow southern hemisphere kids to come, so chances are there are some south africans and australians too.

    Do you also have to pay for dorm utlity fee and laundry fee in darchei binah??

    Ateres is an officially BY sem, even though it is modern. their not going to be as accepting when it comes to tertiary education. by being BY they are saying we want u to be the perfect BY girl, every BY sem is a cookie cutter.

    Darchei Binah is a lot more guiding rather than strict when it comes to rules. obvously some core ones are set in stone, but they give u the torah and halacha behind it and u choose ur path (obviously they encourage a BY direction).

    I know so many solid good girls from where I live who went to both Ateres and Darchei Binah and have come out amazing.

    I know a few people applying for the coming year who come from solid frum homes and the BY school here (constantly participating in chesed programs, one of them is super brainy and sweet). You can email me if the MODs allo by giving u my email.

    There is truth in interpretting the zodic through Kaballah, however Jews have control over the Zodiac and it influences us, rather than controls us. Non-Jews however are controlled by the Zodiac

    Just saying that the term ‘gay marraige’ is a paradox. by definition marraige is the union between a man in a women. The rate of supposably gay relationships have not chnaged in 10 years (still 4%), even though these relationship have become increasingly accepted in secular society. So Hashem would have done something about that a long time ago. Sandy is a punishemnt for other averos, such as sinas chinam.

    Ofcourse it will be hard for the other party, but it was positive in the long run. My opinion is that it is better to break an engagement (however embarresing) than divorcing with kids…

    It is wonderful that there are a lot of men learning, but in these trying times we also need to earn our own parnasa, without putting our parents under strain. It is in fact a mitzvah to earn a parnasa and supporting a family, if only we could do both.
