Hello, we are looking for a shul with mostly Israeli congregants. Other factors do not matter for our purposes. If you know of one anywhere in the US, please reply with info so we can research. Thank you.

Mill Basin in Brooklyn has a large Israeli community.
On Shabbat, in more than one shul, the rabbi gives his speech in Hebrew even.

They have 2 Sephardic like this, very Israeli, a yemenite one also Israeli, the Ashkenazi shuls are more American but also have lots of Israelis.

Ok, sounds kind of suspicious if you ask me, In todays crazy world. I don't feel comfortable giving info about my shul, but good luck.

Suspicious? I think you are letting your imagination run very far off the rails. Just an Israeli looking for a community in the US. But good luck to you to.

Where are you located, OP? And even if other factors wouldn't matter, I'm sure you have a preference?

I have been in NY for the last couple of years and not happy with the cold and the people. Thinking about relocating. I realized I would probably be happier if I had a shul with more Israelis but a lot of the Israeli shuls don't seem to have a huge online presence so I have had difficulty researching. If I had a shul name or location then maybe I could get a phone number and call the Rav and look more into it, visit etc.. I would prefer orthodox but it doesn't matter to me whether its ashkenaz/sefardic/chabad etc.. I can get along with everyone. Just looking for possible options.

I feel like various communities in California may have options up your alley, but I can't come up with any specifically off the top of my head.

wta is a 'no frills' school. Add in the cost of lunch, wta offered tutoring if your child doesn't take to the computer learning model, and other 'frills' and other schools cost less at least for grade school and lower.
