Why did you choose Darchei Binah? What’s unique about it? What kind of student do you think would attend your program?
I chose Darchei Binah because I felt it was the best option according to my hashkafa, and it also suited where I was academically and spiritually. Darchei Binah is unique because it’s a frum school while not being too restrictive, and it allows for students to build life skills. The type of girl that Darchei Binah attracts is someone who wants to work on reaching their full potential someone who wants to make real connections and learn to use the tools Darchei Binah has to offer. For example, we don’t have a uniform, meaning we dress the way we want in accordance to Halachic standards, showing us how it will be in the real world once we leave seminary.

Why did you choose Aish Gesher? What’s unique about it?
I love my program. I chose Aish because it’s not just the average gap year; it has many different programs within Aish HaTorah, and guys from all over the world come. It has a baal teshuva program, where people who aren’t religious come. The rebbeim are trained to really bring inspiration and fire for the guys.
