I made aliyah with my husband and daughter from brooklyn to israel. I speak hebrew, my husband is israeli charedi and is starting his architect program in givat shaul next month. We are looking into moving to har nof. Last time I was there I was 21 in sem . Now im 30 married with 3 young kids. I am clueless. I need a gan for 2 yr old, 4 yr old and 6 yr old going into keta alef. Preferably beit yaakov. We are morrocan yemenite and my husband looking for a yeshiva to learn where usually the rosh yeshiva is there or just someone to always have around for guidance. He is baal teshuva and devoted to his learning. Where do I even start? What the difference between shlav alef and bet .. and are there apartmenta in the newer building . 4 bedroom apts

I'll answer the easiest question. There is no real difference between shlav aleph and shlav beit.

Shlav aleph is the lower part of Har Nof, broadly speaking Shaulson and Chai Taib and the little roads around them. It was planned and built first, but only by a year or two so there is no real difference in the building style or standards. Shlav bet is the upper part of Har Nof, broadly Katzenelonbogen, Agassi and Hakablan. When people are looking for apartments to borrow for Shabbos or something similar they will often say shlav aleph or beit just to give an idea of what location suits them best, but there is little other distinction.

Are you looking for english or Hebrew speaking ganim? It tends to be fairly easy to find private ganim at any time of the year. Iriyah ones might be harder.

I saw an ad for a Sephardi kollel opening soon, just a few days ago. Not sure how to post it here, but I can send the #, if you're interested.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but your username in 'convertinisrael' and you say that you were in seminary age 21, so I'm assuming that you were at either Neve or Shearim. Both of those seminaries give a lot of support to their alumni, especially those living locally. If you get in touch with the seminary that you went to, they might be able to give you a lot of help as to places your husband could learn, and places for your children. They could also put you in touch with other alumni at a similar stage who could provide advice and support.

If your husband previously studied at a Baal Teshuva yeshiva, they might also be able to advise him on where would be a good place for him to learn now.

I'm not OP but I do need a gan for a 4yo next year. I have a school for my older one, who is already in school. I don't know whether I should send my younger dd next year to mamad or beit yaakov, we are Chabad and there is nothing here and I need close by, I won't manage with a gan that's far (no car).

Does anyone have a superb gan in har nof for 4yo girls? I need to sign up this week on the iriya's site.

As far as I know, regarding the two Beit Yaakov schools in Har Nof, you just get placed according to where you live. I don't think they are different.
Ganim I don't know, but could well be the same.
