How the Sem Life Planner Began

For the past 18 years, The Balabusta’s Daily Organizer has been a trusted name for frum women around the world — a planner they rely on to stay organized, inspired, and on top of what needs to get done. It has become a brand women know, love, and trust, helping them bring more structure, clarity, and menuchas hanefesh into their everyday lives.

We noticed that girls were arriving in Israel with The Balabusta's Daily Organizer to use for their year in Israel.

That made us stop and think…

What if there was a planner specially made for Sem girls?

We Asked The Girls What They Wanted

We spoke with, interviewed, and surveyed hundreds of seminary girls to understand what they would want in a planner for their year in Israel.

What we discovered was clear: yes, the girls wanted a planner where they could keep track of their schedules, plans, and important information. But they wanted more than just a way to stay organized...

They wanted a place to write down their favorite quotes from class, lessons that inspired them, personal goals, unforgettable Shabbosim, and memories they never want to forget. They wanted space for gratitude, reflection, and cheshbon hanefesh throughout the year.

And at the same time, they wanted practical help navigating life in Israel.

Girls were asking:

“Where’s the best place to order healthy meals to sem?”
“Where do girls go for waxing, electrolysis or makeup?”
“How do I find a good dentist, therapist, or nutritionist?”
“Where can we go jeeping, pottery painting, or to an escape room?”
“How do I get around Yerushalayim?”
“Which grocery stores are the best and how do I get there?”

The Result

A planner, memory keeper, journal and practical guide to life in Israel—all in one beautiful book.

The Perfect Resource for Every Sem Girl in Israel!!

Sara Shaposhnik and her daughter, Chaya Kohn, have done something amazing by creating a seminary girls’ planner which combines two very important aspects of your year in seminary. Of course our main goal is spiritual growth & self-discovery and that is the beauty of this special year in seminary. Alongside come some unexpected challenges - and opportunities for growth related to time management, executive functioning and good planning. These are skill sets that are so important for the rest of our lives and are often overlooked when we look at the goals of the year in seminary. Therefore, a wonderful sem planner can help you hone in on these skills and develop them so that you'll be able to use them in your future homes. The fact that this planner is not just a regular planner but it's full of ruchnius is a reflection of the beautiful balance of our lives: the spiritual focus and the grounded practical organizational skills.
