Pros & Cons of "MUST go" to Seminary in Israel- BTW- The boys & their family doesn't care which "sem", nor if she went at all.

Bochurim, should not go to learn for a year or so in Eretz Yisroel, but should get married earlier.


There has been lately many that strongly oppose the ingrained concept that "must go to Seminary in Israel" in order to marry the right Ben-Torah.


The Pros are not so self evident.

The Cons;
Don't go to Seminary, get a job or training and get married earlier.

The huge expense that most can't afford.

That $20,000.00 plus [saved] can help the new young couple.

Training for a parnosah delayed by at least a year.

They don't receive the tools needed to prepare for a Torah marriage, etc.
Delaying marriage by at least a year.

A girl should be under the supervision of their parents (enough said!)

Pan-handling for a place for Shabbos, etc. at families that can't afford the basics.

We have heard of the tragic experiences in some Israel seminaries.

If we are talking about hashkofah, yahdus, etc in order to go into chinuch? Gateshead is more geared to that element.

Conclusion- It's advisable- not go to seminaries or yeshivas in Eretz Yisroel

KCL Atributes



 Insta cart does exactly what the holy KCL does in Lakewood and surrounding towns.

KCL allows pizza stores to allow the non-Jewish delivery drivers to have rolls of KCL tape, and seal the pizza boxes in their car at the delivery.

KCL allows shabbos catered affairs to have it delivered by non-jewish drivers unsealed.

KCL allows caterers to have shabbos goyim, do pick ups on shabbos of ice or anything they need from the commissary.


KCL allows the non-Jewish workers at the shabbos parties to fill urns, plug in urns, move urns to other areas.

KCL allows unchecked vegies at their affairs.

KCL Shabbos Mashgichim, often get drunk, use their cell phones on Shabbos.

KCL allows the Non-Jewish managers to have keys to their certified kitchens, refrigerators, etc.

KCL allows their caterers to have shnitzel cooked fresh on shabbos and delivered to the shabbos job.

Etc, Etc, Etc.

All food service establishments know they have to give the KCL Rabbis their "bak'shish", food for Shabbos, for thei parties, etc.

As long as you pay your dues timely, you could do whatever you want.
Insta cart refuses to pay KCL their protection fees, so they malign them.
