Whoever I know that sends to kesser, has a smartphone. And I know quite afew that send there. There's a crowd there that moved from Williamsburg & have become less chassidish.

BSM used to be yeshivish. Kesser attracts a more modern/cool chassidish type afaik. Not like the simple torah home crowd that used to be Bais shifra Miriam crowd.


I'm wondering on which one family you base your assumptions on. Kesser is by far not modern/cool. Mostly serious and torah'dig homes. Ahavas Hashem and simplicity is a huge focus.

It's not just one family. I have some neighbors & friends that send there, as well as families I know that move from Williamsburg & changed their lifestyle alot.

Ok good I’m happy to hear that because I heard otherwise

Although the truth is that I don’t want to send to a school where the parents are running away and changing, I grew up this way and there is just no school left in monsey for my kids

AFAIK Kesser has a mix of both. They have many ex-williamsburg type people and people who couldn't find another school that would accept them. But they do also have many bais rochel grad parents who are solid and hashkafically sound. I wonder which is the majority though. Considering it as an option for my daughter but not looking for an ex-chassidish cool crowd, just an open-minded solid quality more heimish crowd that's not a specific chassidus.

I'm sure there's a mix of families there. But the families I know that send there, aren't the old BSM crowd.

I know many such type of families who send to Bais Brocho, actually. Majority of people in Kesser are not what you describe. The ones who are like that had a very hard time getting in. They were a bit more lenient the first 2-3 years as the school was still new. However, they are up to a point now where they don't accept most families of what you are describing. Bais Rochel and Bais Brocho definitely have a lot more of them. They are extremely strict regarding smartphones. Mothers can only have flip phones. No reasoning whatsover.

Typically I find that sometimes, people don’t like to leave contact information when we don’t know who is behind the question or which other people will see it. But if you truly live in the community and you and/or your husband are surrounded with frum heimish yidden, it shouldn’t be a big deal to for your husband to find out in shul or from his Rav or you from neighbors family friends etc.

Regarding driving , I don’t think it should be an issue.

Lots of luck!
