Aren’t these places interested in people sending them things of interest?
Some of these magazines/ sites/etc don’t even come up in a google search at all.October 7, 2021 10:45 pm at 10:45 pm in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2013481mb10ParticipantBetween all these kollelim there must be around 100+ chassidishe yungerleit doing this.
Sounds a little crazy!
Is in town so broke in providing for chassidishe bnei Torah that so many people are doing this?October 7, 2021 9:33 pm at 9:33 pm in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2013462mb10ParticipantObviously these kollelim are paying very well that someone looking to continue learning can do so comfortably.
(I heard that the closer ones/ e.g. Baltimore pays in the 1500 range plus covered rent, and the farther ones/chicago in the 2000 range plus rent.
Also from what I heard, in Chicago they help significantly those who choose to buy a house.)The question is that is this really their only option to stay in learning (without their wives working like a chicken without a head.) , or is there some other reason so many chassidishe yungerleit are doing this?
October 7, 2021 8:37 am at 8:37 am in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2013194mb10ParticipantIs this the latest trend by chassidim to go to OOT Kollelim?
(Chicago ×2!! Baltimore LA Toronto Detroit Arizona.)
What the incentive?October 6, 2021 8:29 pm at 8:29 pm in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2013066mb10ParticipantSo finally what are the downsides of living OOT?
October 5, 2021 9:37 pm at 9:37 pm in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2012654mb10ParticipantObviously someone looking into Oot is probably not the boxed in type who must be totally surrounded by people who wear the exact same shoelace and even bought it at the same store .
October 5, 2021 8:31 pm at 8:31 pm in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2012651mb10ParticipantTotally agree with ujm.
In Chicago you have all types of chassidish.
Same in Baltimore/LA.
Mix of Boro park Monsey Williamsburg.(Chabad is totally a brand of its own.)
October 4, 2021 10:49 pm at 10:49 pm in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2012307mb10ParticipantSomeone just opened a chassidishe kollel in Arizona too.
October 4, 2021 12:15 am at 12:15 am in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2011971mb10ParticipantSo are we left with Chicago, Baltimore, LA?
Funny that all three have a Chassidishe Kollel!
(Chicago has two!)October 4, 2021 12:14 am at 12:14 am in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2011969mb10ParticipantGadohadorah: So do you knock of Linden and staten Island?
BTW There is also a small community in Indiana of about a dozen and a half Williamsburg families/anti vax common core. But that probably doesn’t count, as it is totally not an established community. Just living out there between the corn fields with no established mosed or other basic community infrastructure.
October 3, 2021 9:11 pm at 9:11 pm in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2011910mb10ParticipantGadolhadorah: Not clear what you define as OOT.
(Whats the difference between Passaic and Baltimore.)Anansahadi: Passaic? Good manners? Great! Chassidim? Really? Do you mean people with just a gartel? Or the type you would meet in BP?
October 3, 2021 5:36 pm at 5:36 pm in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2011831mb10ParticipantSo is this tha final list?
(Staten Island) NY:(
(Linden) NJ:(
Chicago
Baltimore
La
Or are there more?October 3, 2021 10:40 am at 10:40 am in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2011716mb10ParticipantUjm: I think this discussion is about OOT in the US.
I think another big question is about mosdos chasidishe parents would feel comfortable sending to.
For example in staten Island I think people send into BP.
In Baltimore there is a very small chasidishe mosed.
Bloomingberg is satmar
Union city is zanz.
.In Chicago there’s veitzner cheder which is in Yiddish and people feel comfortable sending to, and girls go to the regular beis Yaakov.October 3, 2021 3:05 am at 3:05 am in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2011593mb10ParticipantUjm: Yes these are the 3 supermarkets that the entire chicago shops at.
But they are all very well stocked with heimish hasgocho items.October 3, 2021 2:19 am at 2:19 am in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2011582mb10Participant3 most popular ones in Chicago are Jewel, Hungarian, and Kol tuv.
(If you want you can also add the kosher section at Marianos.)
October 2, 2021 10:50 pm at 10:50 pm in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2011546mb10ParticipantAnother factor a chosid would consider is access to food items with heimish hashgachos.
(In Chicago for example there are 3 supermarkets that sell everything heimishe hashgochos.)September 30, 2021 7:33 am at 7:33 am in reply to: Out of Town – Chassidish community options? #2010754mb10ParticipantChicago has about 30+ chassidishe families/2 chassidishe kollelim, Yiddish cheder and a handful of chassidishe Rabbonim.
Upside of living out of town:
Things are generally quieter.
Less of a social pressure cooker ie life isn’t a constant race to wear/say/do the EXACT same thing as everyone else etc etc / much more room for individuality. -
