Did you have to reach out to them for the interview or did they reach out to you? This is my first time dealing with boy's yeshivas so I'm so clueless.

They reached out to me. But I did ask them to confirm they got my application and I sent it right away the first day

So they confirmed my application which I sent back right away, but I haven't heard from them. Guess I'll try to reach out.

Thanks.

Just curious about the velvet yarmulka rule. Is that a common school rule? What's the idea? Is it considered more formal?

I send there too. I heard that there was a kid who was coming with not such conservative blue/black yarmulkas so they made the rule. I wasn't so happy about it in the beginning but you eventually get used to it.

Thanks so much! Anything else I need to know that I may be overlooking? He's my oldest and I'm not the best at noticing "unspoken rules", I can be quite oblivious Can't Believe It
