Time for a thread split on Jewish American history. I find this stuff fascinating, but this is a pretty random place for it.

That's big news, no?

Very. This gives the community serious legitimacy, both from a ruchnious and "we're here to stay" perspective.

What took them a half year to wake up? Seems like it was sold in August (and yes, it seems there was an offer for $25k less).

Also, they can use help with grammar and spelling...

I think such a system for new developments is important, but it has to be run with integrity as it can be ripe for abuse.

The point is that Chassidim are stuck in the same five communities we've been in since the war, because ships happen to have arrived in NYC. If only they would have arrived somewhere pleasant instead...

It's time to move past the stuck mentality and choose to create communities in places we would actually enjoy living in.

That's one of the big questions I have about the Tampa plan - with the entirety of the United States open to you, why choose a place that has unpleasant weather and is just so... boring? (And yes, I know that AZ is a lot hotter. But that's been discussed to death - 110 in AZ is a lot more pleasant than 90 in FL.)


There were other communities, they just didn't last. Halifax Nova Scotia had a gigantic (empty) shul until recently

What happened in Halifax - they sold the shul, or suddenly got an influx of more people?

Halifax will help people acclimate to Svalbard…

This community was featured in this week's Yated's C.B. Weinfeld story.
Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.
