Choshuv communities in England

The Gateshead community is extremely choshuv. Move there.

Obviously this decision is totally yours and has nothing to do with me, but why would you move to a place with such open anti-semitism in the recent months? I know that I would be afraid to move there. People living in England keep saying that they don’t see a future for themselves there. If I were you, I would try to find out specific people in the frum communities (London, Gateshead, etc.) and interview them about what it’s like to live there. I’ve never been to England so all I’m telling you is based on what I hear. My friend in London keeps me updated and I constantly hear things on the news.

Hatzlacha Rabbah!

It really depends on how you define Choshuv, in the really Charedi comunities you have a few choices:

London:

Golders green – expensive

Stamford hill – chassidish and expensive

Edgeware – a healthy mix

Manchester:

Prestwich – Younger Cheaper

Salford – a healthy mix young old and cheapish

Gateshead: – Small – only around 600 families, Cheapest though.

Its definitely worth visiting all these comunities to get a feel before choosing.

Be aware that Gateshead is like 400 Miles from London and in a pretty drab area

I hear your decision. Leeds is quite yeshivish close to Manchester and I hear there’s a new kolel. I do have a good friend in Leeds who is quite yeshivish. But if you want your children to grow up in a frum environment than if I were you I’d go to Gateshead which has many good yeshivas. Obviously its up to you but your desicion is your desicion. Hatzlocha and have a good shabbos.

Gateshead is like 400 Miles from London Zhavasdad:- I assume you mixed up kilometers with miles as 400 kilometers is 248&1/2 miles, and even this is underestimated, as London to Gateshead is approximately 270 miles=434&1/2 kilometers. {Measured from Golders Green, slightly nearer than being measured from Piccadilly Circus in Central London}.

Mameshtov please bear in mind that Motzei Shabbos in Leeds at height of summer is not until 11.08PM, so this may be past your bed time and may make you wish to reconsider moving to Leeds.

cozimjewish:- Your assertion is on the ball, and so absolutely correct. BTW:- In light of this, I usually end up blessing Birkas haIlanos twice annually, once in Tishri whilst in Australia, & once in Nisson whilst in England or Israel.

I also usually manage to coordinate my schedule, to be in Australia over Shiva Ossur bTamuz, and to be in England over Assoro bTeves.

But the flip-back cozimjewish is having to file taxes in 3 countries, and I require the specialized services of an International accountant, as this is quite complex to say the least.

cozimjewish:- “Your assertion is on the ball, and so absolutely correct.” Implies that I am serious and this is for real, and am not joking.

For that matter scotland…

DUH! it just starts later… *Snort*
