Reply To: Open me! I'm another sem thread!

popup: Right now, I’m leaning much more toward Michlalah than toward Machon Raaya. The problem is that Michlalah is a popular option in my school this year so that in order to be sure I’ll be accepted somewhere I need to have backup. But it’s definitely my first choice. Machon Raaya also sounds good but it’s a bit more Bais Yaakov than I am at this stage of my life, and I want to grow at my own pace and not be forced into it by my surroundings.

Burnt Steak: I’m thinking of Meohr that is run by R’ Greenwald. I know lovely people who have gone/are there, but I don’t think it’s for me.

It’s funny, because in some ways I really like the idea of MMY, but it seems a bit more Zionist than I am (as in, I support the State politically for the sake of the Jews who live there but I don’t believe that its very existence is a hashkafic concept) and I think that it’s a bit more modern than my parents like, and as they’re the ones paying… :). That said, unless I’d look into it more, I wouldn’t know myself if it was good for me either.

Thanks all!
