[quote=Anonymous]My family and I are looking for a reform synagogue in NoVA that offers the right fit.

We chose one initially that was just not us, and felt wounded by the experience. Neither my husband nor I are very religious but we want to find a place where we belong.

Our experience included Rabbi's who were inflexible with regard to Jewish learning, and seemed very motivated to please board members to the detriment of other members.

We never felt a sense of community or a warm nurturing environment. Is it possible to find that here? Truthfully, I belonged to two synagogues when I was a child in another state and never found it there either nor for that matter did my husband feel a strong connection to the synagogue he belonged as a child.

Is it realistic to feel like I could find a reform synagogue offering a warmer, hamish and social environment that would make us feel like we want to engage rather than retreat until the High Holy Days each year? We are willing to travel to Fairfax County, Arlington County and Alexandria. [/quote]
