Read the Milwaukee moving guide →Milwaukee’s Orthodox community is really three neighborhoods, each with its own shul life and its own mikvah. On the west side, Sherman Park is the most yeshivish, built around Congregation Beth Jehudah and its mikvah on North 52nd Street, the Milwaukee Kollel and the Yeshiva Elementary School on West Keefe Avenue. On the East Side, near the lake, are Lake Park Synagogue, Lubavitch House and the Mikvah Chaya Mushka, and the Wisconsin Institute for Torah Study, a boys’ high school on North Lake Drive. In Glendale, just north of the city, Anshe Sfard Kehillat Torah, Ohr HaTorah with the Glendale Mikvah, and Chabad of Glendale / River Hills are close together on North Green Bay Avenue, with the Torah Academy of Milwaukee nearby.
The three are several miles apart, so a family picks one and lives within walking distance of its shul. Housing across all three costs far less than the large Northeast communities.
