Deal is Syrian. If you are not Syrian, or "the community type", you will feel out of place
In Lakewood, there are all types of Sephardim, but only organized schools for Syrian. There are a few types of Sephardi Shuls, including Moroccan, Syrian etc. but it's a more integrated community - meaning into the Ashkenaz world |
We are integrated into the ashekanz world, other than my DH davening at a sefardi shul on shabbos we look like a regular ashkenaz yeshivish couple.
Were not syrian were moroccan. I dont know anything about lakewood though I wouldnt know where to begin. Ive been there once for a wedding

What do you/your husband do? Can you transfer it? Can you work remotely? (remote is the best)
I don't know so much about Ramot because I don't live there but as the amothers who said they live in Ramot.

I think California also has a nice sefardi community. I don’t know much about it but maybe someone here does.

That's fine, as long as your a bit discreet about the phone. I eventually switched my smart phone for a phone with just email and Whatsapp and then a kosher phone completely. I feel more comfortable.
In terms of your husband working, that's no problem really. Mine does too.

We currently live in NY now. We are looking to move to a yeshivish community with frum schools that has one sefardi shul and it seems impossible to find. We live in a community now with mostly one type of sefardi sect. They're lovely people, but the davening, minhagim etc are different.
And before anyone says "sefardim= sefardim" its not true, they're all different.
In e"y when we visit family, theres a sefardi minyan on every block.
Are we looking for a unicorn? A community with sefardi minyanim and strong established bais yaakov schools and yeshivas? We're a regular frum yeshivish family, I wear a sheital and my husband learned in ashkenaz yeshivas but we are very much sefardi in the way we run our home both in halacha and minhagim etc. |
As you said there are big differences between types of Sephardim. Deal is ideal for one specific type. If you share with us what type of Sephardic background you’re from that would help. Toronto has a Sephardic community if by America you mean not just US.

Israel sounds more your speed than Lakewood, but there are a lot of nice Israeli Sephardim in Lakewood too.

The sefardi shuls here are a mix and wouldn't blink twice if you wear a shaital.

There's a Moroccan shul in Lakewood on Princeton and seventh Street called zichron binyamin.
I think the community in California is Iranian
Baltimore is also Iranian

Where do you live?
When we visit e"y we both walk around with kosher phones we wouldnt go against what others are doing and stick out. I would need wifi at home to work

I actually work in Queens! and I went to Shevach for HS.
We're not Bucharian and were looking for more of a yeshivish community.

Im a therapist I work in a local yeshiva here but I have friends that are therapists and work remotely and theyre agencies are hiring so that is an option, although the pay isnt as good and the age difference is EI. I work with middle and high schoolers so thats a big transition for me. I really enjoy older students.
Husband is in construction business. His idea is to build up his business more and then hire a few guys to work for him and split profits of some sort. But id like to move sooner rather than later and when my kids arent too big.
I dont know any chareidi couple in e"y where the husband is working. All my sisters ("all" lol I have 2 sisters there) and my husbands brothers are all in kollel and my friends that are in e"y are all in learning

The problem with Israel is if you are yeshivish/charedi there is a big stigma against sefardim. Even though there are so many sefardim here in Israel. (It makes no sense to me either...) Eg I was just talking to my friend about boys going to high school. She told me that often the high school will tell the elementary school that they will only accept a sefardi boy from the school if an Ashkenazi boy will come with him also. So you need to be prepared for some discrimination...
