Focus on Hashkafa, Machshava-type classes, with less text-based than most sems.
They want each person to grow according to their abilities and personality, and while every sem says that, it looks like they really do it.
They have a sheitel and hairstyling course twice a week

oh yea it is also an american-israeli seminary..meaning a lot of girls who's familys made aliya throughout the yrs go there because most "american semianrys" do not take girls whos familys live in Israel

i have a friend there this year w/ that exact sitch.
also, i heard that its like a "party" seminary?!!?!?

Aaron said...

i dont know about the party part-but its not the most academic seminary..they are not looking for A students nor a girl who goes there necissary is on that leval..its an easier school trying to make the girls get a yr of what you are suppose to.. The princepal is the son of the princepal of seminar

rabbi meisels came to speak at my skool today and i was very impressed!!!!! he gave an amazing d'var torah as an example of how they learn/teach at pninim. i really enjoyed the style it was very deep without being fluffy...it was down to earth and real. my only concern now is the type of girls and the academic level...but otherwise, im totally into it!

pninim is getting a pretty good name, especially with out-of-newyorkers.

most of the girls i know that went there really liked it.

i even know someone who was in a different sem (non by), but sat in on classes at pninim throughout the year and went there for second year sem.

and rabbi meisels was really nice about the whole deal.

sounds like a great place where people really make changes in their lives.
