How big is the Jewish community in Brooklyn?

I would like to convert to Judaism and I know I will have to move to a bigger Jewish neighborhood.

In a few years I will graduate with a Bachelor's in Social Work. From what I've seen on the internet if I move to New York I will be making $40-$50,000yr. Do you think that it is enought to survive?

where you want to live depends on what brand of judism do you plan on following.

Converting to Judaism is no walk in the park. Nothing like becoming born again and dunking your head in some water and saying you accept Christ as your personal savior.

How Orthodox we talking here? The payiss, the black coats, etc? Or Orthodox but still dressing relatively "normally," working with non Orthodox, etc?

Brooklyn has a huge Jewish population and all brands. Satmar, orthodox, conservative, reform, Hasidic, Lubavitch... the list goes on. Many are huddled in certain neighborhoods like Crown Heights, Williamsburg, Midwood etc. Do you know what you are looking for?

Not Hasidic/Satmar/Lubvitch. I always thought they really don't like to do conversions. Just orthodox. Not reform or conservative
