i didnt go to the prom either and that was in '56 a long time ago i went to public school and asked the principal to change the date(of course the food wasnt kosher so i wasnt planning on eating) he said fri nite was cheaper so i was home for Shabbat where i belonged and graduated w/honors anyway! now we r happily living in Israel and our grandchildren and gr grandchildren who live here will never know about a prom or homecoming they are HOME B"H

A sage girl who gets it! What a beautiful person whose actions serve as a role model to other Jewish youth. She has found fulfilment in Judaism and in herself at a very young age. Life is about making good choices and she has prioritized them. Reply

Skip Prom Most of American culture is poison to the soul of everyone; so a safe Harbor, is in HaShem and His Covenants; don't have to invent yourself, He created you with purpose; life's a journey with a well trod path; He'll show you. Reply

You are a role model not only to other teens , but to much older people like me too, with your inspiring dedication and strength. Thank you! Reply

You are truly nothing short of an inspiration. Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I though I heard an Irish tune called Drowsy Maggie playing at the beginning of the video. It can be found on YouTube and it's also in the third class party scene of the movie Titanic. Reply

So beautiful- if only I could serve Hashem with the same newfound love that this girl has for Torah and Chassidus.

Brought tears to my eyes.

May you go from strength to strength! Reply
