[quote=Anonymous]We are Jewish, and there is one other family in our neighborhood that is Jewish.  The rest is mostly Christian, with quite a few being evangelical Christian, and quite unfriendly toward us.  I have never felt comfortable here.  In general, the first time in my life (I'm from NYC) that I directly encountered anti-Semitism was here in NoVa, and from my perspective it is much more Christian and evangelical than anything I'd experienced before.  I Fairfax right now, and I have lived in Arlington and Mclean.  Those areas are not as bad as where I live now, although I'd have a  hard time thinking of anything to really recommend them over Maryland.  The Jewish community is barely a community here.  It is very spread out, and not very cohesive.  But of course, those who really make an effort do certainly find a Jewish friend group and a synagogue or Chabad House they like.  But if Jewish is the main thing you care about, I just don't see this being a great place for it.[/quote]
