If you only speak English, perhaps The Netherlands? Lovely place, okay folk and overall cheap for the quality of life provided (compared to France and Belgium, for instance).
I speak English and Hebrew, unfortunately dont know any languages other than English that are useful around the world.
In most of Europe, including almost every big city, you can survive with English, and learn the local language after you arrive. It will be a hard blocker if you are looking for teaching position though.
One thing you don't mention that would be important to figure out which countries would be a good fit for you is how important (or not) is to have access to a thriving Jewish community for you.
Interesting, didn't know that. Well, yeah I want to have access to a thriving jewish community, do most European countries have big jewish communities? Im actually not sure
France, UK, and Germany have the biggest communities (100k plus). Of this France has the biggest (440k and 2.8% of the population), but at least my perception is that it's also the unsafest country in western Europe for Jewish people right now - I would advice you to reach out to Jewish organisations in Europe to get an accurate picture on this point.
Hungary comes next, but I wouldn't recommend the country to anyone that self defines as liberal or progressive.
I think Netherlands and Belgium also have relatively big communities in the big cities.
I think all European countries have synagogue, but some have pretty small communities.
Yeah good advice, though Ive heard antisemitism is rising in France and some other European countries, like how its rising here in the US. So Ill have to check into that concern as well
