147 – I did not realize that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Everyone else, thank you for the warm welcome.

Gatesheader – I agree. First I left New YOrk, and then the orthodox center of Atlanta. We’re only 10-12 miles from the large and small orthodox areas (Toco Hills and Dunwoody). But the suburbs are ripe for growth, as were Lakewood, Monsey, West Hempstead and Waterbury. It’s a struggle at first. But we have a nice shul, plenty of very cheap housing with nice, big houses. G-d willing, we’ll have an eruv encompassing 1,000 homes in the next few weeks (negotiating with TWO power companies that cover the area). Depending on the time of year, we have daily minyanim and night seder. And we have a fun mix of Ashkenazim and Sephardim from different parts of the world. What we really need is a good rav to stick with us. We’ve had a few rabbis come and go, but no one really invested in the community. So if you know anyone… :-).

I’m going to post separately about Rosh Hashanah drasha topics. I’m curious to see responses.

Again, thank you for the warm welcome!
