Q:

You suggested that we should not move out of Brooklyn. But I’m dating a girl who wants me to move to Canada. Should I break up and remain in Brooklyn or should I move to Canada?

A:

In order to answer this question, I have to know you better.
But without knowing you I’ll say that if you have no chances, no other opportunity, so you’ll have to move to Canada – you have to go; you can’t help yourself. And you’ll be a big tzaddik in Toronto, wherever you’ll be.
If you can persuade your future kallah that it’s better to be closer to the majority of frum Jews, you’ll be more successful.
However a specific answer, that depends on the circumstances and therefore I won’t give you a definite answer.
