reading some of these posts makes it feel like its still Simchas Torah!!! thanks

I need a nap after reading all these posts.
I have to say DaMoshe is making a good point, and I am a frum person myself; this a pretty serious situation. Of course they shouldnt be drafted and forced to compromise on religous laws and principles, but don’t demand to be supported by the government either– that is not a Torah life!
I actually live in Cleveland (look at my moniker). Cleveland is great if you want to live out of town (I moved here from NY). Pros:
Very good for a small community, at least 8 shuls: Young Israel, modern orthodox, yeshivish, even a small Chassideshe Shteible called Alexander Rebbe, kiddushim every shabbos, etc.
three k-12 schools: modern, mizrachi type (coed-but orthodox); regular called Hebrew Academy, very good, middle of the road school, no New York shtick, (ie obsession with white shirts etc), good rebbeim and teachers; yeshivish school called Mosdos; Also Teshe Yeshivah,(yeshivish, Litvishe type) grades 9-12 with a Beis Midrash program for post h.s.); also Hebrew Academy has a middle of the road grades 9-12 h.s. program, (small though).
Also like 5 Kollelelim where a lot of the people learn before and after work.
Cons:
One restaurant, (fleishig); one Israeli place, (fleishig, shwarma etc); 2 pizza shops;
So not too much to do: most people go to work and learn at night, not too much night activities or exitement (some people are looking for that slow paced life though).
Housing: very affordable; nice houses in the frum neighborhoods $200k, often less in the certain areas.
Summary: if you want to get out of NY and want a slow paced, no frills lifestyle, enjoy!
