Exactly!...Ilana-Davita - "<i>proud and glad</i>"<br />Exactly! We're very proud of all that he has accomplished B"AH, and we're very happy that he finally made a decision about next year IY"H... :-)<br /><br />Keren - Thanks. The truth is that if it was up to the CTO, he'd probably take a few more months to make a final decision. But fortunately, the Yeshiva told him he had to let them know by Lag BaOmer...Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-6966182788990440192010-04-29T11:10:12.051+03:002010-04-29T11:10:12.051+03:00Congratulations for getting excepted and registere...Congratulations for getting excepted and registered for this Yeshiva.<br /><br />Learning in Yeshiva is a whole new ball game compared to studying in Yeshiva high school.<br /><br />Some of the popular places do get booked up, and you are not always excepted to where you want. My son got into a very pretigious place, but had to give an answer and money, but Rosh Hodesh Nisan. In the end he went somewhere else. But even after he had decided where to go, he wondered whether he oughtn't to check out somewhere else.<br /><br />Enjoy the process and your son's growth next year in Yeshiva, but first, good luck for the Bagruts!kerennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-11572480776759626342010-04-28T22:25:51.897+03:002010-04-28T22:25:51.897+03:00I am sure you are both proud and glad.

There are too many heshivot hesder and mechinot and stam yeshivot etc. Most can easily accept more boys.<br /><br />But for the gals the situation is the opposite.
