[quote=Anonymous]I’m Jewish.  Grew up in Mont Cty, moved to FFX after grad school, and moved back to Mont Cty when the kids were ready for school.

Judiasm is much easier in Mont Cty.  But it really depends on what you want/need.  Do you keep kosher?  Yes you can get frozen Empire in FFX but for a big meat shop, you’ll need to come to Rockville or Silver Spring.  I can walk out with a rotisserie chicken from Motis and have dinner.

Both areas have great Jewish preschools.  Beyond that though if you want a Jewish education, you’ll need to consider your options.  Gesher is very small and goes to middle school.  The High School is in Rockville.

I actually like my FfX synagogue more than my Rockville one.  Both are conservative and I feel welcome in both.  I think the FFX is more family friendly though.  Many a Shabbat morning was spent on the playground.

When you look at camps, the buses leave from Mont Cty.  There were Jewish people in my neighborhood in FFX but not like in Mont Cty.  My neighborhood has a sukkah hop.  If you run out of something during pesach, a quick post to the listserv will save you a trip to the grocery store.

It’s not that you can’t have all that in FFX, it’s just not as convenient.  But it’s not inconvenient either, it just takes a bit more planning.[/quote]
