You went to a class and realized how much you used to enjoy learning.<br />Then you wrote all the reasons that it might be better for you to stay. But in the the end you wrote that you think you would have an enjoyable time.<br />You started off talking about your aspirations and goals in life and then switched gears. You spoke from your heart and soul then challenged yourself whether this is right to think like this. <br />If you are "in process", I suggest you explore that more. Staying home or working will not give you answers or change you for a lifetime. Who do you want to be in five or ten years from now? <br />Going and searching out answers to your questions while you are still young (I assume you are) is the "right" thing.<br />You mentioned you are in Grad School. When do you finish? After you will have the same questions. "Should I work now or search for my answeres?" <br />Grad Schools do give a leave of absence and France is not far away from Israel.Raizelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177752869414032531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2441769948981888005.post-80798444899009932662012-06-16T19:27:30.026-07:002012-06-16T19:27:30.026-07:00True true Neve isn't going anywhere, but this ...True true Neve isn't going anywhere, but this is a summer when I can go.

One doesn't have to be in Israel to learn. Just while you stay home you make a point to seek out speakers or subjects you enjoy; maybe take a course. It certainly won't cost as much as staying in Israel for a month. <br /><br />Look around online and listen to some shiurim, pinpointing a speaker that you like. <br /><br />I didn't go to seminary so I can't give an opinion on that, but my belief is that if one has the drive, one can learn anywhere. <br /><br />And Neve Yerushalyim is not going anywhere. If you feel differently later on, that can still be an option to take advantage of.Princess Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217157534383672867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2441769948981888005.post-27873344293258305982012-06-14T00:45:47.730-07:002012-06-14T00:45:47.730-07:00Like ZP said, there is no right answer, and like c...Like ZP said, there is no right answer, and like corti said, that is very admirable that you're supporting yourself! Wish I could say the same...<br /><br />However, having learned in EY and in chuts laaretz, I have to say that I think it's much more special in Yerushalayim. When im there (especially in a seminary environment), I feel the kedusha in the air, and my learning is of a different quality (not intellectually but in a way which makes me internalize it more). However, I know that not everyone is as 'mushy' as me and I always feel my surroundings more acutely than others...<br /><br />I also get your point about being home for the holidays - that's a really nice feeling!<br /><br />Either way, my advice: arrange a skype chevrutas with a disciplined girl once a week and whether you go to seminary or not, you'll have that!<br /><br />P.s. Shearim (another seminary in har nof where a few of my Friends went) also has a winter progam and if you don't go to nevei in the summer you could always go in the winter if you have a break...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2441769948981888005.post-12601181585270527482012-06-13T23:13:42.324-07:002012-06-13T23:13:42.324-07:00There is no right answer since every option has it...There is no right answer since every option has its pros and cons. Instead of writing out answer, I'll direct you to a post that I dedicated to a friend who was making a big decision and asked me to write about decision making:<br /><br />http://princessofhashem.blogspot.com/2012/02/making-decisions-to-do-or-not-to-do.html<br /><br />May Hashem give you the clarity to make the right choices! And most importantly, after you make a decision, it will be the best one, because you will MAKE it the best!<br /><br />p.s. I attended Shalhevet (the post-seminary program of Neve) for a few months and can tell you more about it if you are interested.Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988396893369485100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2441769948981888005.post-10529248843926655172012-06-13T20:34:05.015-07:002012-06-13T20:34:05.015-07:00Oh my, i love your answer because no it's not ...Oh my, i love your answer because no it's not the typical of course go, one time opportunity, bla bla bla.... <br />If it makes you feel better, my dad is helping me out this year for the first time in 4 years because it got too much.

As great as Israel sounds, you have responsibilities and for some reason when I started reading your post I misunderstood and said Omg, she went off to Israel and now she's cutting classes and regretting it! (C"V- if you go then I'd wish you tons of hatzlacha and cheer you on)<br /><br />I've downloaded many great shiurim from TorahLectures.com and listen to them on the go (when I have the mental endurance during the semester), like you I also went to a "domestic" seminary and believe in the worth of learning on your own if you have the diligence. Or if you wanted to learn something by phone from time to time I'd be happy to do it with you, there are a lot of spiritual blogger gals here it seems so maybe we could get something together.<br /><br />I really admire that you support yourself while being in school btw... I feel so spoiled not working. I guess I "work" for my family by taking care of the kids.<br /><br />Anyway these are my thoughts, but I'm sure everyone else will vote for you to go to Israel :) There's always Birthright during winter break if you're not engaged by then!cortihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06500543390043802580noreply@blogger.com
