AGREED!!!!!!

cheap
September 16, 2012 3:10 pm

This seminary is rather cheap compared to others, and in addition you can get scholarships, which can take off a few thousand. Compared to Israel, this is not expensive! So im not sure what all the complaining is about. :/

excuse me?

After seeing everyone complaning (yet again) about the high cost of the seminary, I went to the website to check the price. $9,900 is extremely cheap. There is no seminary in existence that is that cheap. Go find something else to complain about.

Fantastic!

California is a great place! There is a need for more Lubavitch seminaries! LA is filled with great teachers and Rabbis! This will IMYH be a success!

committees

Tuition costs
September 13, 2012 11:37 pm

although Israel has a lot of years that they are in existence, they also don’t have high costs. The salaries and food etc, are way lower than in America and especially Los Angeles.

price
September 13, 2012 10:34 pm

The asking Tuiton price is way too high for a beginning start up seminary. What they are quoting is what 15 year old seminaries are quoting. No one is saying they should drastically reduce..however, I think the first year you charge at least $3,000 or $4,000 cheaper and prove yourself.
For an ISRAEL seminary you have a Masa Grant plus your local federation money and other avenues to help a parent reduce some of the tuition..I don’t think these opportunities apply to a U.S.A. seminary. (if I’ve got the wrong info. please let me know)
Hatzlacha Rabba!

woohooo!!

cost of anything in LA is very high to keep up with,and if you look at the website, there is an application form for scholarships

high tuition?
September 13, 2012 6:51 pm

everything about the program looks absolutely amazing, but the tuition is really high… we crown heights parents are absolutely thrilled that there is another good option to consider for our daughters, but i wish it would be more affordable… are there any scholarships available?

!!!!!!!!!!
September 13, 2012 6:10 pm

Lots of exclamation marks in all of the above comments!!!!!!!!! That being said, the more seminaries, the better; we need more competition. However, lets see those prices come down just a bit…

September 13, 2012 2:37 pm

I live in LA and know all of these teachers. BEYOND AMAZING! There arent any words to describe how amazing they are. LA is an amazing plcae to be and live especially when you are in a Chassidishe atmosphere.

Mrs pinson was my teacher, great person!

Okay, to #14 about mrs Lerner, she’s very knowledgeable and sweet _ I do not suggest her as a teacher for 18 year olds. im talking from expeience!

Be sure to get someone like Mrs. Lerner on staff to train students in education. These are the future mothers of our nation.
