Reply To: Why all Alone?

I settled in a large community in EY with the intent to move out to the miniburbs. I have become a rolling stone, davening in many shuls, connecting to them all, but not fully. I have two Rabbonim I can access but I do that only rarely. My take is that in the city, without constant and serious effort, you will always be ‘other’ and certainly if you don’t willingly conform to one of the labels that local society allows.
