This was helpful to read. No, I am not on the wealthier side. I also like going to a very progressive reformed service in NY on the High Holy Days. I pay what I can - I pay $20 if that's all I want to pay. Mostly English, meditation, singing, poetry readings. Many are conducted in churches or metaphysical centers. So that is what I would be looking for. I also want to be around a lot of single Babyboomers as I will be alone.
I see mention of Sarasota and Naples in this forum. What about Fort Meyers? Or St. Petersburg?
Any opinions? Any opinions of all those areas mentioned?

Default best place on West Coast for Jewish New Yorkers

I am NOT a wealthy NY Jew. I am reading Sarasota over Naples.
What about Fort Meyers or St Petersburg? I am not wealthy. I would like to go where there are a lot of single babyboomers. I also cannot afford the east coast. I do not care about politics. I go to services in NY and very progressive and ultra-reformed. Usually in a church or metaphysical center. Mostly english, singing, meditation, poetry reading. I pay what I want - usually $20. Of all those mentioned what seems the best.

Sarasota. Definitely. Maybe South Tampa, but definitely Sarasota. Or even Bradenton.

BTW, it's Ft. Myers. Without the "e".

One perspective from a goy who lived in NY for many years and now in SW Florida...being Jewish in NY is as much culture as it is religion. You won’t be able to replicate the cultural aspect of NY Judaism on the Gulf side at all in my opinion. Should be no problem finding a reformed temple in any sizable city.
