seminaryhelp; Don’t hang out, don’t get into an arab cab. Take cabs with at least one more girl, preferably someone that speaks some Hebrew.
Not every restaurant that says hechsher Badadtz is a good hechsher, It means Beis Din Tzedek.
It can be a beis din tzedek of Mir n Tosh, or Ohev Shalom,
Shomrei Negiya, or Sulam Yaakov.
it’s just words in hebrew with a seal, on a piece of paper.
Some of them, (aside from those that aren’t a good hechsher,)
DONT EVEN EXIST!!! just a number that you call that is connected to an answering machine that never gets answered . please get educated, ask your rabbi of sem of whatever male figure that is familiar with what hechsherim are acceptable.
Go out to your local Makolet (usually a “Super” something)
& buy a bottle of every spring water imaginable. Refrigerate,
then have a cup of each. The one that is the most tolerable,
i.e. most of it’s contents make it down your throat,
or better yet the one that allows you to take another swig,
voluntarily, be sure to check the brand…. and CONGRATULATIONS! You have found yourself a winner. Now you’ll know what to stock up on, instead of having to switch from water to say.. diet coke.
bygirl93; first of all, about making friends, just be yourself,
(unless your real self is boring) always approach the other girls
(that seems cool & your type first) and introduce yourself,( but not in a hyper, on speed, way, just happy and chilled) then ask their name if they don’t reply with theirs, ask what school they’re coming from, then make a comment to put them at ease, like a joke.
It can’t be a bad one though, cuz that’ll pretty much end it.
Then move on, saying “nice meeting you, let me know if I need any help you w/ anything.”
