“What do you mean, I’m not allowed to go back to Yad b’Yad?” ZeeZee’s eyes were narrowed and she leaned forward over Chava’s desk, fists clenched. “I don’t know what my interfering sister said, but I’m telling you, everything’s fine there. Nothing bad goes on, I wasn’t doing anything wrong.”
“I believe you that you weren’t doing anything wrong,” Chava said. Inwardly, she sighed. It wasn’t simple to take this away from ZeeZee. Yet she wasn’t just doing Rabbi Freund’s dirty work; she fully agreed that a seminary girl shouldn’t be in such an environment.
“ZeeZee, for better or for worse, we’re influenced by the people we spend time with. And—”
“And these girls are amazing!” she interrupted. “Seriously. They’re strong, they’re honest, they’re real. They don’t just do something because they’re told, they think it out first and decide if it makes sense. It’s so cool to be with people like that.”
