Open my Eyes...

Thoughts of an Orthodox girl from California adjusting to Manhattan life as a college student and attempting to understand her place within the Jewish people.

Let's get out of here.

So basically I feel like my time at college is coming to a close very quickly - not because I'm being told to go anywhere, but because I am getting very, very tired of being observant alone and want to be a part of a frum community and meet people, meaning go to seminary in Israel for a while and get my Jewish life started - no matter how scary it seems and if I don't know a single person there. I'll be able to go next September - I know, too far. I am probably going to end up at Neve Yerushalayim, which everyone has told me is great for baalei teshuvot/girls who are older than 17. Does anyone have any other suggestions for places that I should apply?
I hope everyone's simchas torah is absolutely amazing and full of joy...and lots of dancing!

I think Neve would be excellent. Sorry you feel so lonely. Hope you get to where you want to be soon.

Neve is quite good, but I'd also look into Midreshet Rachel. It's a bit different, but you might like it better - either one would be a good idea, though! Good luck!
