Watching all the seminary threads, I just want to say that Mrs. Dena Leah Rappaport is opening a seminary in Cleveland.

I don't know much about it, so I'll just say what I know. (I'm in Cleveland and I know bits and pieces.)

Mrs. Rappaport is highly educated (kodesh). A real academic. She wants girls who can read a Ramban. I know she'll be selective in who she hires.

I know the eim bayit, Mrs. Shalva Klein. She's a very down-to-earth, warm person. Used to be a high school morah.

I know a house was purchased in the neighborhood to be used as a dorm.

Interesting. Which Rappaport is it? What’s her maiden name, and what does her husband do?

There's only one Rappaport in Cleveland as far as I know...
She's a Taub from Cleveland. Her husband is a talmid chacham and lawyer.

I don’t know too many people from Cleveland, but I assume they have relatives elsewhere (unless he’s a BT?) I’m just trying to figure out who they are. I love Jewish geography! It’s also helpful since it provides context about who she is and what she’s looking for in a seminary.

Her husband is a lawyer? Is he related to the Rappaport Kohanim?

Sorry, no clue about his family. She's a clevelander and I know her family.

She's looking for a highly academic seminary. She's a BJJ grad.

For example, I googled her and found a blurb online about a shiur she was giving in 2015 (she gives lots of shiurim):
Mrs. Dena Leah Rappaport will be presenting an intellectually stimulating and truly challenging class on mystical power of Purim and unique holiness and happiness of the month of Adar. Bring your pen and paper – taking notes is highly recommended!

Interesting. I googled her name and found an article from 2020 in Mishpacha about her sister with Down’s Syndrome. Her mother opened a group home for her- the first kosher group home outside the tri-state area, “Ruach”. Beautiful!

She’s not trying to recreate Yavne. Hod will be its own program.

Signed, a Yavne alumna and friend of DL Rappaport
