Since then, i have been putting that on hold while i obtained two masters and a PhD in Jewish-related studies. I am curious if there is a path to s'mikhah that doesn't involve moving and attending a yeshivah. I am 45 years old and have 7 children, so it would be a big change for all of them to up and move for more schooling. Anyway, any advice or pointing in the right direction is appreciated.
