Allentown, PA

Rolling hills through the countryside, bustling downtown area, picturesque Allentown is home to a close-knit Modern Orthodox Jewish community. Nestled in the West End neighborhood, our low cost of living boasts spacious 3–4-bedroom houses for less than $300K within our large eruv, low property and income tax, and tax-free groceries, clothing, drugstore and many household items.

Under the rabbinic leadership of Rabbi Nisan Andrews, Congregation Sons of Israel is the center of the community, religiously and geographically.
