 Dei'ah veDibur - Information & Insight - OPINION & COMMENT
Unfortunately the original concepts and purpose have been distorted in recent years to the point where competition between Bais Yaakov educational institutions is now based on who can attain the new goals that have been introduced, even though this represents a major departure from the reason for the existence of Bais Yaakov schools.
This is the primary goal Bais Yaakov institutions were set up to achieve and the purpose of their existence today.
Let us take pains not to bring into the halls of Bais Yaakov schools, which carry this fabulous and holy name, all those who are unable to purge the study material for peripheral subjects of even the smallest bits of foreign matter.

 Dei'ah veDibur - Information & Insight - OPINION & COMMENT
The Ministry of Education is supposedly concerned that the level of the studies in Bais Yaakov should be sufficiently high.
For example, when the argument that the Bais Yaakov External (Chutzim) exams, which are prepared for the network by Marvad (the Bais Yaakov-Szold Examination Center), are not on a sufficiently high level was voiced to the Education Ministry, they immediately saw an opportunity for introducing "enlightenment" into the schools.
For years, the Ministry claimed that the level of teaching in Bais Yaakov was low and that it was impossible for the Bais Yaakov graduates, or anyone else, to become teachers by spending just one extra year in preparation after the four years of high school.

 Obituary of Rabbi Avigdor Miller, 1908-2001
On Sunday morning, April 22, an estimated 30,000 mourners participated in the funeral of Rabbi Avigdor Miller, rav of the Bais Yisroel Torah Center, mashgiach and rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Gedola Bais Yisroel, and long one of America’s leading Torah educators.
The service road in front of 1821 Ocean Parkway, home to the Bais Yisroel of Rugby Torah Center, was jammed with people of all backgrounds that sought to be close to, to touch, the source of so much Torah for so many years.
Rabbi Avigdor was also a revered and honored lecturer at many Yeshivas and Beis Yaakov schools throughout the years, cherished by his students who adored him and felt singularly privileged by the association.

 Misguided reform - Jewish Media Resources
The proposed reform, at least as applied to Bais Yaakov schools, is not only unneeded, it will have exactly the opposite of the intended effect.
He was so struck by the poise with which the young Bais Yaakov teachers from Bnei Brak guided their charges past the screaming demonstrators that he decided that he wanted such teachers for his own children.
Instead of creating a massive disincentive for Bais Yaakov graduates to pursue a teaching career, the Education Ministry should be trying to find out what the Bais Yaakov teachers are doing right.

I happened to be at the local Bais Yaakov when it was my 3rd grade daughter’s birthday last week, so I came to the class party.
It should be noted that this Bais Yaakov, as those of us who’ve had the good fortune to have had daughters attend(ing) there, is an extraordinary school, guided by a Principal who is in a class of his own when it comes to knowing and really caring about each and every girl in the school.
I recently listened to a tape by Rav Yaakov Weinberg zt”l who said in very clear terms that competition is part of what creates the problems in the world and that it has no place in Torah society.

 A Tradition of Kindness
I and untold others were heartbroken by the news from Jerusalem of the death of Rebbetzin Tzila Sorotzkin (formerly Orlean), a noted teacher in the Bais Yaakov seminary in Cracow, and protege of Sarah Schenirer, founder of the first Bais Yaakov Jewish seminary for women.
A virtual spiritual beacon of Bais Yaakov, Rebbetzin Tzila felt a sacred responsibility to nurture the "children of Sarah Schenirer." She thirsted to take newly arrived Bais Yaakov students under her wing, to set their hearts to rest, and, primarily, to assure they remain steadfast in their ancestral faith.
To keep their moral fiber intact, to retain their mentschlichkeit (human decency), not to become tainted by the camp, as she was wont to say, presented a formidable task, as the appallingly squalid conditions tended to harden the hearts and pollute the speech.
