Try Bais Sara. I think it can be a good option for you.
Or Bais Brocho but hard to get in.

I really think you should try Gan Yisroel.

My husband said he doesn't know anyone who sends to bybp so if it comes to that last option we will try to apply there. And I heard a lot of good things about bybp from my friends and I'm more than ready to send an application there but my husband thinks its not heimish enough which is a whole other story which I don't wanna get into since there's no real explanation for his hesitation to send there. I guess bybp is a last resort.
Mods I want to move this to the private chasidish velt. |
BYBP has more heimish/chasidish kids than not

I agree, maybe tell your husband that he can request a class of mainly heimish girls. Some classes are more heimish/chassidish than others.

The opposite
Classes are by default heimish. You need to request the yeshivish class to be in a non chasidish class

I think Gan Yisroel is a choice that can work for you.

I really think you should try Bais Sara, and I don't think you'll have a problem getting in. Good education, nice families, chassidish but not affiliated with a particular moisad. I know of other BT/geirim backgrounds who send/sent there. I think both you and your dh will be very happy there. More heimish chassidish than BYBP.
Eta: another vote for Bnos Perel

Did you try gan yisroel? I know a few people suggested it already but I really think it will be a good fit.

Gan Yisroel is a very accepting place, great for geirim/BTs, and I think Op would be comfortable there. Fantastic school too! However, it's similar crowd to BYBP and I'm not sure it's what Op's husband is looking for

I am à BT and my husband was a ger. We sent girls to bais Sura and to gan yisrael. I currently live out of town but considering moving back and putting my big girls in bybp and my little one into a more chassidish school. Feel free to pm me if you want.

Are there any that are english speaking? I know of bais yaakov of bp and that will be one of the options. However I was told that since my oldest who is a boy goes to a very chassidish cheder (like bobov, skver, etc) there needs to be some sort of balance between the two and other potential future siblings. We're a nice simple family, my husband typical chassidish and I dress pretty basic and simple plain wig. I do switch tights colors in the summer/fall though.
I feel like if I send to the girls version of the cheder which my oldest goes to I definitely will stick out, and I don't want to burden strangers to help with translations from loshon kodesh and yiddish all my daughter's life.
I also want to be involved in my daughter's school activities. Are the bais yaakov schools the best option for us since they are English speaking? What are the differences between the bais yaakov of bp bais yaakov on 18th and any others that I may have missed? Also, what is the process like? Do we reach out to the schools and ask for an application? What happens from there?
My daughter is turning three in the summer, IYH.
If there are any other converts living in BP I am more than happy to connect and make more friends. |
So I’m a bas kohen (grew up ffb all my life) that married a convert. I am very curious how converts fit in in such places. We personally are more modern, and started off our lives living amongst not frum people. Slowly, my husband was growing more and more into it. But, we Defintely still have that secularism. Secularism being that we lived in place with very few frum people and do interact with non Jews and not frum people and have friends that aren’t Jewish or aren’t frum. But, to go all the way into insular must be very tough. I’ve dated many bt, even tho I grew up ffb, and went to typical frum schools, they tend to be very open minded despite how frum they are. You can defintely see a difference when I interact with non Jews vs my husband. It’s just never is the same. But, most converts I know are more similar to my husband (they’re all very Shtark), but you can see how they interact differently no matter how frum they are. I also know a rabbi that’s a convert. His very frum, but due to his background his very open minded and you can see differences. So, I’m curious how you plan and are doing this?
