Heres the sitchation: We are currently living in a city where there really is nothing (except for what I make) for chinuch. Our plan is to move within a year. This coming school year I have committed to teaching, preschool and 1st grade. BUT I just got an offer to teach (doubling my pay) in a way "better" community meaning: my kids will have a school, we can stay longer, kosher food more acssessable, we have really good friends there.
So my concern is I have already made my commitments, maybe this is my shilchus for one more year, because really the preschool wouldnt be taught without me doing it. But it is so hard to not be selfish for my family. They would have so much more.
Just wanting to vent , I have to make my desicion, would love some imput!!

Can you find a replacement for yourself in the 'old' town? Maybe a young single girl who'd be willing to come for the year?

What's your husband's opinion on this?

My husband is letting me decide, his job is flexable.

as for a single girl coming out, it really isnt possible.

so,will it be better for your family to move to another place, where you got the new offer?

about commitment- if you will give them an advance note, do you think they will find someone else?

Yes it will definitly be a better place for my family as far as yiddishkeit and chinuch. My son will get to play with other frum boys his age.

There is about 3 weeks left to school and hebrew teachers are sooo hard to find.

This is a tough one you've got, the needs of the tsubur (community) versus the needs of your family. I would ask a shaila from a Rov. Besides for a more objective view then your own, you won't feel guilty about your choice and you can tell the people that you are acting on guidance.
