OP, I think Edison/HP is what you’re looking for and I know there are many people that are like you that live there. I’m not sure if the tuition is that much different compared to Passaic, but I would imagine it’s more than Lakewood.
I flew it twice. There were a lot of other Jews on the flights and I felt very safe. It’s not the greatest airline in terms of legroom and food etc., but it got from NY to Israel back without incident twice for a much better price than other airlines.
