zeena.kastaMember
Is a 7 year age gap a good thing or a bad thing?
zeena.kastaMemberyeh i am for the 2014 year bc i live in the southern hemisphere. thats why im posting now, because i am only applying now
zeena.kastaMemberNo. hmmm…trying to think of who I can contact….
zeena.kastaMemberI understand. Just so frustrating not having connection to any people from those places!! would any south africans maybe have it?
zeena.kastaMemberliving in a place with not so many jewish people like me is so helpful 😛 can I find the spreadsheet if i search it online?
zeena.kastaMemberalso what date do people get accepted or have u gotten accepted already??
zeena.kastaMemberthe seminary in Israel
zeena.kastaMemberWho has been accepted into darchei binah,Tomar Devorah or Midreshet Tehillah?
zeena.kastaMemberjust 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.
zeena.kastaMemberthere are apparently about 90 people going this year…is anyone online planning on going?
zeena.kastaMemberIs anyone going forsure in 2013/14?? What is your hashkafa? Just out of interest…
zeena.kastaMemberwho is going?? u excited!! and is anyone there now and enjoying it??
zeena.kastaMembercould be :S
zeena.kastaMemberso is anyone going forsure??
zeena.kastaMemberso who is going?? what type of girls? have people been accepted yet?
zeena.kastaMemberarriellab1 do you mind me asking what your hashkafa is? also your personality? I am a little loud, outgoing and a little studious. will be interesting to know what youre like and all the other girls applying…
zeena.kastaMemberHow are the girls enjoying things this year?
February 11, 2013 7:05 am at 7:05 am in reply to: Should Proper Grammar Be Required in the CR? #929428zeena.kastaMemberno. incorrect grammer can tell u something about the person online, correct grammer inhibits the expression of people’s feelings.
zeena.kastaMemberso whose going in 2013/14?? do you know anyone going and what is their personality like?
zeena.kastaMemberI have a friend going- lovely, open minded, not so intellectual, but a clever good girl
zeena.kastaMemberalso why is the darchei binah website down?
zeena.kastaMemberother mobile phone plans with international calls??
zeena.kastaMemberI 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)…
zeena.kastaMemberIf 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.
zeena.kastaMemberDo you also have to pay for dorm utlity fee and laundry fee in darchei binah??
zeena.kastaMemberAteres 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.
zeena.kastaMemberHow do you manage money in Israel?? What would u spend on food every month? toiletries? laundry stuff? tec.
zeena.kastaMemberi have one vegan and two vegetarians just from my school years. i also have a cousin who is a vegetarian
zeena.kastaMembersounds like brovenders (aka midreshet lindenbaum) may be good for u. does anyone know the positives and challenges of darchei binah as a sem?
zeena.kastaMemberDarchei Binah. open minded and beis yaakov directio withoit being an official by sem.
zeena.kastaMemberAlso it needs to have litvish values…
zeena.kastaMemberalso i am quite zionistic….
zeena.kastaMemberalso why is the seminary suited to me?
zeena.kastaMemberThere 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
zeena.kastaMemberJust 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.
zeena.kastaMemberwhat girls are in Darchei Binah this year?
zeena.kastaMemberhow are dorms in Israel? What are the dorms of Ateres, Meohr and Darchei Binah like?
February 28, 2012 9:26 pm at 9:26 pm in reply to: Ten Things Your Child's Counselor Wishes You Knew #953424zeena.kastaMemberi always used to keep up appearances as a child pretending i didnt care, but i did. so the above comment is so true!!
zeena.kastaMemberOfcourse 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…
February 28, 2012 6:32 am at 6:32 am in reply to: Ten Things Your Child's Counselor Wishes You Knew #953422zeena.kastaMemberhow did the autistic boy deal with everything?
zeena.kastaMemberan open style sem..
zeena.kastaMemberis there a place where you have to learn the whole of shmuel alef and beis on your own?? Thats perfect for my daughter
zeena.kastaMemberwhat is the typical girl that goes to Darchei Binah?
zeena.kastaMembermy neice got into all three she applied to!!
zeena.kastaMembersem is short for seminary. a year of intensive torah study, ussually in israel
zeena.kastaMemberhaha…so funny. really this is serious!!!

February 1, 2012 9:36 am at 9:36 am in reply to: How much does it cost to support for a year? #853853zeena.kastaMemberIt 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.
