If you could move to Eretz YIsrael tomorrow, where would you want to live?
I would live in Petach Tikva. Second choice would be anywhere between Petach Tikva and Yerushalayim. (The most normal people live in Petach Tikva, and I’m not on the level to live in Yerushalayim.)
Meah Shearim.
Opening poster: Why would you think you are not on the level? There are all manner of people here, including me, and every spark of added kedusha helps. And I, for other reasons, want to get out to the ultra burbs, so when you are ready, come and take my place.
The old city of Tzefas is very beautiful & quaint.
Furthermore, since I have procured a plot at the Old Cemetery of Tzefas, it would be conveniently nearby.
If you guys are serious, you best bet is probably Ramat beit shemesh – that is where at least 90% of american oilim live.
Hatzlacha.
What demographics is Har Nof? Ashkenaz/Sefardic, Chareidi/Daati/Chiloni?
What demographics is Har Nof? Ashkenaz/Sefardic, Chareidi/Daati/Chiloni?
All.
There is a not nice joke about Har Nof, that since the americans tend to live at the bottom, sefardim live at the middle, and the so called yeshivishe oilem at the top, to refer to it as teivas noiach!!!!
And what’s wrong with Haifa?
In Haifa people run the risk of running into a famous girl who is constantly correcting everyone’s grammar.
Hmmm. Ramat Eshkol.
The Shomron, of course. (Especially since I’m already here!)
And no, goldersgreener, 90% of American olim do not live in Ramat Beit Shemesh. Where did you come up with that? Not even 90% of frum American olim live in Ramat Beit Shemesh. Hard to believe, but not everyone opts for the large English speaking communities when they make aliyah.
Boro Park
Hmmm. Ramat Eshkol.
Which Ramat Eshkol? The one in Jerusalem or the one in Haifa? 😛
haifa is prust and goyish. unless you live in ramat vishnitz, in which case thats awesome
Golan. I prefer somewhere with more green and I love the mountains there.
Isn’t the Golan outside the halachic boundries of E”Y?
(I know Eilat is in chutz l’aretz.)
Yerushalayim all the way. Maybe one of the Ramots.
I would prefer Minchas Yitzchak or Ezras Torah, in Yerushalyim.
One apt in Tzefas and another in Old City of Yerushalayim!
Sorry, takahmamash, you are correct. only 88.5% of american oilim go to RBS.
In your dreams, goldersgreener.
Petach Tikvah, Tel Aviv and Bnei Braq are blistering hot in the summer. I have been there and I am not able to handle the heat and humidity. I prefer Yerusholayim or even Beit Shemesh.
Ramat Shilo on the entrance to ramat beit shemesh is the best anglo location
I love Har Nof. I would probably consider that.
BaalHaBooze: You can not take the heat of Petach Tikva, Tel Aviv or Bnei Brak, BUT, you can take the heat of Beit Shemesh! Beit Shemesh is EXACTLY what it says, “The House of the Sun”! It is boiling hot there day and night 24/7.
I would prefer to live in Yerushalayim and Tzefat is also beautiful.
Im curious why no one has suggested Modiin Illit or Mattisyahu??
Very central location, English speakers, good shopping.
I live in the ROmema neighborhood of Yerushalayim. Beautiful English speaking etc…..
Answering digibochur: One reason may be b/c the kind of people who’d want to live in Modiin Illit are less likely to be on this forum.
Where else is there climate similar to (or cooler than) Yerusholayim? What is Beitar like? Tel-Zion?
What kind of crowd live in the newer areas of Telz-stone, eg. Achuzat Ye’arim?
Meah shearim
I also live in the Shomron. We have a great community. Everyone who comes to visit feels right at home and loves it here.
Har Nof, for the person who asked, is a mixture.
