Austin,Tx has a fast growing frum community. Is there anybody on YWN interested in living in Austin,Tx?
Not for me, I was there and I didnt see any frum Jews and it was insanely hot
Austin isnt cheap anymore, Its considered the #1 place to move to in the US so housing prices there are soaring
No ocean, so there’s no point in living there.
Wow, you should start a thread about it!
Malbim, why do you think the point of the CR is to promote Austin? And why is paying a rabbi a lot a good thing for non-rabbis like me?
Doesn’t Mr. dell, the computer guy live there?
is the only shul there the JCC? I am not going to live there as I have a nice house and community right where I am now, and if I am moving anywhere it is eretz yisroel
But I’m not a rabbi! And this is not a blog!
But I don’t want to. And you can’t make me.
Also, you don’t like me, so if you do live there, aren’t you glad I don’t?
Malbim, I think you should look for another city. Maybe, somewhere in montana or wyoming. 🙂
To be or not to be, yes he does also he is jewish he assists the jewish community a lot like giving them millions a pond millions of dollars among other stuff, that’s why you should live in Austin,Tx.
Austin is not mentioned in the Torah. That’s why you should live in Israel.
According to Mikvah Finder, the only Mikvah in Austin requires a 48 hour advance notice to use it
ZD: That’s a problem?
let me put this delicately. Are you married, Yehudayona?
“millions a pond millions of dollars”
The phrase is “millions UPON millions of dollars.” I hope that your English and grammar are not indicative of the school system in Austin.
I’m married. Typically women know at least 48 hours in advance when they will be going to the mikvah. In small communities, mikvahs are always by appointment only.
I live in a community in NYC with hundreds of frum families. The main mikvah is in a nearby area. You wouldn’t want to walk there at night, so we have a neighborhood mikvah for use on Friday night only. Appointments are supposed to be made by Wednesday night. I’m sure that if for some reason a woman can’t make an appointment that far in advance, she will be accommodated.
takahmamash,zahavasdad,yehudayona,To be or not to be,The FrumGuy, don’t judge Austin,Tx just check it out.
The mountain borders dividing the portions of Ephraim and Manashe are practically in my back yard. Tell me why I need to check out Austin.
Malbim, here are some serious questions about Austin:
You say it is “fast growing”. How many frum families were in the community a year ago, and how many are there now?
What kind of Jewish schools are there in Austin?
You wrote that you’re looking for a Rav. How long has the community been without one? Having difficulty attracting a Rav isn’t making it look more attractive.
On the website for an Orthodox shul in Austin, Congregation Tiferet Israel, it mentions that the Rabbi is Rabbi Daniel Millner. A quick Google search shows that he is a YCT graduate. Would you say the community is YCT style?
What is the real estate market like there? If I wanted a 4 BR, 2.5 bath home, how much would it cost? What are the real estate taxes like?
Thanks in advance!
If everyone moves to Austin, that’s another reason for me not to want to live there. Too crowded.
Malbim, are you going to answer my questions?
But Malbim, I don’t want to live where other people live, so if it’s “fast-growing” like you say it is, I’ll just stay where I am or move to a desert island.
takahmamash, cause it has a great frum community.
So? There’s no mitzvah to live there, so it doesn’t really matter how frum the community is.
Malbim: no, I’m happy where I live now. If one day I decide to move to Texas, it will probably be Houston. I have some extended family there, and when I asked someone about it, they actually gave me real answers instead of just telling me to come check it out myself.
Your refusal to answer questions makes it seem like you have something to hide.
I met someone from the UK who is a Rabbi there!
DaMoshe: He’s not actually from Austin. It’s quite obvious, really.
You really think so, Sam?
I don’t know about you, but if I were trying to push living in Austin, Tx, I don’t think I’d put NYC as my location in my CR profile.
DY: I laid a trap. He didn’t fall in. Hence, he’s not from Austin.
He’s trying to clear out NYC. I hope he succeeds.
Anyhow, that explains where RebDaniel has been.
Malbim , does your mammy know that oo is pwaying on da compooter?
2bornot2b, I know I haven’t been around lately and I even missed color war 🙁 and I know that you put effort in to make the CR a more lively place because of me, so thank you and sorry!
You’re compooter comment was very funny! Thanks!

You’re welcome. Its nice to know ones efforts are appreciated. and it is fine about color war my team won anyway ( haha! you lost!, you lost! yellow rules, red drools!) but I doubted it would work out, at least we tried.
I WAS ON YELLOW! I think! I picked non-diet Peach!
