Hi there. My husband needs to be in Princeton, NJ right after Shabbos. Is there a frum community he can stay at that's within a 15 minute drive away?

I work near there but I'm not 100% sure about what is around there.

I believe there is a small community and shul in East Brunswick or North Brunswick if that helps with googling. There is a shoprite with a kosher experience nearby if he needs that.

I believe that Princeton University has a Hillel house with a kosher dining hall. I would advise calling them to see if they can offer lodging and meals, or if not, can recommend something in the area.

Call Rabbi Dubov at Chabad of Mercer County.

Cong Toras Emes in East Windsor is a frum community. I think they even have a Shabbos house for guests. Google them for info.

Thanks for all the replies! We already contacted Rabbi Dubov and he can't have him because his daughter just had a baby so she's by him. He just left a message for the rabbi at Cong Toras Emes, thanks for that lead! A friend mentioned to me that Cherry Hill is the closest frum community?

There is a Young Israel in Lawrenceville NJ, about 7-8 miles from Princeton.

Yardley, PA is about 20-25 minutes away. Much closer than Cherry Hill.

Husband called the Lawrenceville rabbi and left a message. Still no word from East Windsor rabbi.

Anyone know about Highland Park?

Highland Park is really more like 25- 35 minutes away. Can you ask Rabbi Dubov for any suggestions?

Yes, we'll try to do that, should've thought of that, thanks. Yardley is 45 minutes away, DH called them.

Strange they told him that. DH grew up in Yardley. It's about 25 min, from there to Princeton, sometimes even less. In 45 min. you can get from Yardley all the way to Philadelphia.
