Yes, especially when considering New York City, lakewood, etc. It has very little Jewish infrastructure

Passaic doesn't have an OOT mentality at this point. It's a regular in town community.

What do you mean by ā€œvery little Jewish infrastructureā€?
It is a thriving Jewish frum community. Just smaller then Brooklyn or Lakewood

Huh? Very little jewish infrastructure??
Passiac has a great jewish infrastructure, whatever jews may need. Of course on a smaller scale then Brooklyn or Lakewood, as the community is smaller, but there's nothing missing in Passaic.

Passaic has the same level of infrastructure as Monsey, just on a smaller scale

Thriving is a strong word, it is growing though. It's a small town. Literally

Your school options are either A or B. As for groceries, it's the sameā€”just A or B. And the pizza shop? You guessed it: A or B.

The kids wear the exact same clothing bought in the exact same stores.

There is a variety of shuls, but even the most yeshivish doesn't compare to average Lakewood.

The most Chassidish shul doesn't hold a candle to brooklyn.

It's out if town.

Passaic is not out of town. There's a nice variety of stores & kids absolutely don't only wear clothing from the same 2 stores..... people shop online & at department stores just like people from other communities. And with all those fancy stores at Brook Haven, Passaic is definitely not OOT.

Iā€™m not sure what yeshivish and chassidish shuls have to do with oot. But I guess everyone has their own definitions of oot.

What? No way. Passaic is full of fashionable people and a hop away from five towns.

What makes something oot is the questionā€¦ Chicago is considered oot but itā€™s a huge thriving community with tons of resources and more similar to monsey and Lakewood than Passaic in a lot of ways. So itā€™s all relative.
