[quote=Anonymous]Most Jews are politically left. That said, as an intensely political person, what I appreciate about my conservative synagogue is that the prayer services are in Hebrew, many people know the liturgy well, so you're not singing by yourself, and the synagogue has a diverse membership, including politically. There is certainly a lot of social activism at the shul, with a lot of special events, but the prayers are the prayers, and largely politics are not central. Look for a nerdy, intellectual conservative synagogue - e.g., Tifereth Israel, Ohr Kodesh, or even a synagogue more outside the city, e.g., Mishkan Torah in Greenbelt. If you are OK with a more reconstructionist service, Oseh Shalom in Laurel is nice, or Adat Shalom. [/quote]
