after the Elul zman? I've been pricing out tickets and they are a fortune. I wasn't expecting the crazy prices on tickets. Now I'm not sure what to do! Sad

Why would they go home after Elul zman? There's still learning during the chagim (not on yom tov, obviously), and a lot of the social stuff goes on over chol hamoed. Lots of people willing to have guests. What's the big rush for them to come home after Elul?

My sons yeshiva is off for almost a month. From what I understand the boys come home. This is my sons first year away, and he/we were intending for him to come home. It's just so exspensive now. I was wondering what others do.

Did he stay over the entire summer from the previous year?

I think my dh said he went home one year like that, but it was his second year and he had stayed the entire summer.

If he just got there, I think it's ridiculous. It's also very important for them to be yeshiva for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kipppur.

Yes he just got there. And no he wasn't there for the summer. He will be there for RH, but then they come home.

I don't want to be slammed for revealing this. But, he's only 13 and it's his first year away from home. He was expecting to come home....now I'm not sure what I'll do. If he doesn't come home it won't be for 6 months. For his first time away...I don't know.

OK, see, you also didn't tell us it was Yeshiva Tichonit, which is a huge difference. I was assuming we were talking post high school here, where the yeshivot are NOT off!

Do you have any family here he could be with during that time? The yeshivas charge an arm and a leg and with airfare being what it is...I might be tempted to save that money.
