No, that's a different person. They spell it with a 'Z'.

Don't think so, not many of my students are married yet.

Where have you experienced that? We are very generous with food over here. I don`t think you can label an entire group of people as being karg!

True, Stamford Hill is way more generous. I am talking about the yeshivish culture in other parts of the UK.

Yeah Mrs Sonenchein is still there but with a co headmistress which keeps on changing... not sure who is now to "help" her.
She was really good we were scared of her, eventually she started teaching us some stupid subject don't remember what, probably no one wanted to teach it.
She would repeat sometimes the same things... she lost her discipline abit so others came to help but generally she was great!

Why does Mrs Sonnenschein need a co head? Is it getting too much for her?

Stamford Hill has definitely become more chassidish with the years. I wear black tights and I’m definitely the minority.

If this is a SH thread I might as well try my luck...
Anyone know of a good piano teacher for my DD?
Or any other instrument.
That I feel is missing so much in SH! Family in NYC talk about tap dancing, balet, tabuka lessons and we hardly have anything Sad

I see advertised baking and art lessons thats all...

I most certainly did! Can`t forget the way she kissed me on the cheek on the last day of year 11 and cried that she will miss me... It was a sight to watch every girl coming out of her office in tears.... She was a special person. Even though we had a few hundred girls in the senior department, she knew each girl by name and greeted everyone she met on the road, even a long time after she graduated. I am sad my girls won`t have her as headmistress.

Another grad here. Yes, she was very special indeed. I can't remember being called in though. You must be older/younger than me.

But YHS and Beis Yaakov are the only schools that allow it, so how is it possible? One Satmar school itself is double the size of them together.

Would you say the same about people who don't wear a white tichel on Yom Kippur?
