Can anyone elaborate more on the New Gateshead Sem? How is it different from the Old Sem? Different curriculum and emphasis? What about physical location? Size of school? And is it hard for American girls to adjust to the lifestyle in Gateshead?
Pashuteh Yid, I wanted to focus on places with low taxes and more robust economic growth. For that, you need to head south and west (Dallas, Phoenix, Atlanta, Denver, Norfolk). Not to mention that the weather is better! But of course, Boston also has a very nice community. Same with Scranton and Cleveland and Detroit and Milwaukee… Also we shouldn’t forget Seattle and Portland.
All major cities in the United States have Orthodox communities that would welcome new families. Some cities have more options in terms of chinuch and shuls than others, but you can’t go wrong with any major city. And you’ll be doing your family a favor in terms of Jewish life and quality of life in general.
There are many beautiful Jewish communities outside of New York with cheap housing, low taxes, and lots of job opportunities. Check out Atlanta, Denver, Norfolk Va, Phoenix, Dallas, Memphis, St. Louis, Kansas City, and more! All of these cities have shuls, kosher food, and Jewish schools. Some of them have even more educational opportunities – bais yaakov high schools and yeshiva high schools — Atlanta, Denver, Norfolk, and Dallas for example. And then there are of course the older, more established “out of town” communities – Chicago, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Miami.
