Monsey and New City are mostly Hasidim (in New City's case, more accurately a enclave that broke off and formed it's own "Hasidic town" called New Square). Since I don't like having to comment in three forums on the same exact topic (but understand in the sense that there's no single "metro NYC" forum), the OP can look in the Westchester forum where I give a lot more details.
where did you get that info from as far as I can tell there are more overall Litvish, Yekish and Modern Orthodox in Monsey together then Hasidim (though they have a plurality if you combine all the different Hasidim together (even though they are worlds apart))
I would like to know what suburbs of New York City have the largest Jewish population. I have gotten mixed reviews. One person said it was Scarsdale, another suggested Jericho, but my gut told me it was Great Neck. A few people said that none of these responses were correct and it's actually a more middle-class town in Rockland County. Perhaps if were to list a few towns, you could rank them from highest to lowest Jewish population. I will give my estimate, with 1 representing the most Jewish. ... To be clear, I am differentiating between secular and orthodox. I am asking for suburbs that have the most secular Jews so places like Williamsburg in Brooklyn need not apply. I am posting this on all the forums related to New York and its suburbs.
Hmm... interesting question. The purpose of your inquiry, Sirhc Yam?
Lakewood is more Orthodox, Livingston more secular. Livingston is more Liberal,Lakewood more conservative. As conservative as we Jews are. We are not very conservative compared with other religions.
Surprised Cherry Hill, NJ didn't make the list....
OP was looking for ny suburbs...I'm guess cherry Hill or Voorhees would rank in the Philly suburbs.
