rwndk1, we live in e”y. Our kids are still young. There are a lot of advantages to living here, but since (among other reasons) we can’t see ourselves totally integrating into chareidi Israeli society, we don’t plan on staying here forever.
We ended up moving to a very chareidi place because of cheaper rent. It works for us now, but I don’t think I would have chosen to live here if I was looking for a place to live forever.
