Living as a Jew In Texas Part 2

It's certainly been a life changing event moving from NY to Texas. Now that Passover is over and I just got back from NY (staying by the in-laws for passover) I can start focusing on the important things like buying a toaster. Slowly but surely I'm getting the hang of things here. As a newcomer you have the obvious questions: Where can I get kosher food? What time is shachris? Where is the mikvah? Then you have the sub categories: Where can I get pareve chocolate chips? Where are all the shuls located? Where can I tovel my utensils? et cetra... Fortunately I'm learning the answers to these questions and much more. I'm looking forward to finding out all the town secret handshakes and hideouts in the near future.

Living as a Jew In Texas!!!

It's been a while since I last posted and some of you probably think I fell off the map. Truth be told I have sold my home and moved from Long Island, NY to a town (soon to be named) in Texas. As you can imagine this is a big step for me in more ways then you can imagine. I can happily tell you however, that so far it's lived up to it's expectations and more. My wife loves the school that are children are enrolled in and I'm looking forward to a slower paced and better quality of life . My kids have already made friends that live close by so we could not be more thrilled about it. People here are from all over but most interestingly enough there is a large percentage of former Monsey residents for seemingly no reason in particular, they gravitated here. Stay tuned for more...
