Israel came out with a cure 2 months ago, not really, they try to be overly optimistic it's great for the PR, but still doesn't change facts

The Israeli government is in no way predictable, however over the next 3-6 weeks Israel cases will peak, hospitals will come close to overflowing (hopefully not worse chv), and Israel will be forced to introduce it's strictest regulations yet. The end of August should find us at the second plateau, with less political appetite than ever to allow foreigners in. The biggest hope is that in the restructuring process the army will establish a better mechanism for travelers to quarantine effectively.

Thankfully I'm not in this situation, but if I was I would be very reluctant to send. Of course the seminaries are eager to open, but  will they be equally determined to stay open? Not sure that I'd want to put myself in a situation where a month after paying for the year my kid gets sent home on a chartered flight...

My understanding is most seminary parents already paid. At best it will end up being skeleton school with a lot of zoom so the staff gets their desperately needed salaries

While the key point is indeed your last one, I'm not as pessimistic as you. I agree that students will find it very difficult to go places for shabbos, etc. but I think that the learning part of seminary will function somewhat normally. Obviously there will be quarantines and people testing positive, but I think the schools are incentivized to actually have some in-person learning, otherwise they won't be able to collect tuition and people will leave
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

The seminaries are all paid fully in advance. Most were already paid.
