My husband and I are considering moving from Monsey. We would like a small, out of town type community where we can really contribute and make a difference - even start a shul (my husband can daven, lein, give shiurim, etc.). We both have elderly parents here in Monsey so we also need something that is casual driving distance - not over an hour. We don't need tons of kosher dining options - one kosher supermarket is fine. I would like somewhere near a good boys' school. Does anyone have any ideas?

Scranton, PA may fit your bill.

It's about 2 hours from Monsey.

Very affordable, very nice, down-to-earth community, friendly, accessible and has an excellent boys' yeshiva.

NOt sure how much need there is for a new shul though.

I've heard talks about chassidish people buying up tracts of land in the Poconos and building a new community. I don't know if it's just talk or if concrete steps have been taken. It's certainly affordable and not too far from NY.

Contact the beth shalom synagogue
They are starting a new school
They already have the Scranton hebrew day school a bais yaackov
Another small girls high school
A big high school yeshivah
A shul called machzeiki hadass and ohev tzedek theyeshivah has a kosher supermarket and you kind find other kosher food

Scranton is extremely nice. If you plan to commute daily it would probably depend on which part of NY

I've been seeing nice things about Cherry Hill - is anyone from around there? Should I look at East side? West Side?
