Englewood is one of the older Modern Orthodox communities in Bergen County, centered on Congregation Ahavath Torah — a large, historic shul on Broad Avenue. Congregation Shomrei Emunah, East Hill Synagogue, Kehilat Kesher (shared with Tenafly), and Yeshiva Ohr Simcha round out the Orthodox options, spread across a walkable core and the more upscale East Hill.

The Moriah School, a coed Modern Orthodox day school on South Woodland Street, is the community’s educational anchor and draws families from across the county. Englewood maintains its own eruv, and the city’s housing runs from apartments and townhomes near the downtown to substantial single-family homes on the East Hill — generally priced above Bergenfield or Fair Lawn.

Note: Englewood has a community eruv maintained separately from the Teaneck–Bergenfield eruv. Confirm the boundary and weekly status with the local eruv committee or your rav before carrying on Shabbat.
