Orthodox Communities in the US(not in NY).

Curious what your favorite orthodox communities are! I’m looking to get more observant as I’ve been reform since I started practicing, but I have a stipulation for work that I can’t move to NY and a few other states- here are my limits from work.

“As a reminder, the states we currently cannot approve hires and transfers for include the following:

• California
• Massachusetts
• Montana
• New Jersey
• New York
• Washington”

Would love to hear your experiences! Currently I’m in the Midwest, in a large-ish town but there’s no real orthodox community outside of a small Chabad house. Open to moving most anywhere, but I also don’t make a ton of money in my current position so cost of living is going to be important as well.

Thanks!!
