I just googled "what to do after sherut leumi" and this came up! I was wondering if you had some advice for my daughter.<br /><br />She doesn't want to do a second year of sherut leumi (she is working at Shaarei Tzedek this year) and is undecided as to whether or not to go to midrasha or university. She is also considering something like part-time Matan and working in the evenings. Any advice?אנט פרידמןhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612883338971555388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-79052764131583858312012-02-29T00:43:05.958+02:002012-02-29T00:43:05.958+02:00Baila - That's great that your daughter's ...Baila - That's great that your daughter's doing a second year of sherut!

She is working really hard, but it's an amazing learning experience. She just "closed" for next year's sherut and the process is alot less stressful--for her and mom!<br /><br />B'hatzlacha!Bailahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115498582378133552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-46118016732163298192012-02-21T22:10:31.220+02:002012-02-21T22:10:31.220+02:00Kaila - Welcome to the blog!

Her school had Masaa Yisraeli last week (great timing, right) and I had to sign her up for an intervew. She showed me how to get to the page, instructed me to set it up before 6 and then refresh until the appropriate icon appeared. It reminded me of hitting redial on the phone to try to win something from a radio station when we were teens.<br /><br />BTW, having used both, Leora's comparison to the parent-teacher conference sign-up is a good one.

My daughters that lived in a dirat sherut (and in two cases, villot sherut) who had to supply their own food got paid a higher salary, while my daughters who ate at the school, maon, whatever, where they were working, got a smaller salary.Miriyummyhttp://www.miriyummy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-36331352750251557292012-02-14T13:41:28.004+02:002012-02-14T13:41:28.004+02:00Mazel tov!
