Above all, I have found that this is true:
When I am living in a city in which there are fewer Jews, I feel more connected to my Judaism. (And vice versa.)
My family, some of my friends, etc., always seem concerned about a lack of Orthodox Jewish life in places where I have lived. But time and again, I find myself feeling alienated when living in/near those big Orthodox communities. Whereas when there's an absence, I am constantly looking to be more connected.
Maybe I'm just a contrarian. Not sure. But it's a truth in my life nonetheless.
