Thinking Of Moving Here?
Nestled in a valley and mountainside at the beginning of the Pocono Mountains lies a gem of a town : beautiful, historic, tranquil Bethlehem , close to Philadelphia (1hr) and New York City (1hr. 20 min.). The housing costs are very low especially when compared to any area in North Jersey ! Taxes are very low , crime rate is low and the city offers a rich array of services usually not found in smaller towns.
There is an abundance of kosher shopping, and close by is the Allentown Jewish day school. The best part of all is the shul itself! This is a small, warm and cozy orthodox synagogue with a much admired beautiful interior.
