[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for synagogues: Maybe they've mellowed, but Agudas is the most traditional of the synagogues around and doesn't have a history of being welcoming to the interfaith. I'd definitely look at Etz Hayim if you want conservative or Beth El if you want reform.

We are members at Congregation Etz Hayim in Arlington.  It is extremely welcoming to interfaith and bi-racial families (including ours).  If you end up in Arlington or northern Alexandria, I'd highly recommend it.

Temple Micah in DC (which draws family from DC, NoVa, and MD) is another reform temple that is very welcoming to interfaith families (including ours) and to bi-racial families.
We live in North Arlington a few minutes from Key Bridge to DC, which makes Temple Micah closer to us than the NoVa temples. We like it very much. However, once our child got to a county-wide middle school, it turned out that his school friends who went to temple all went to Rodef Shalom in Falls Church, so many Arlington families who aren't at our end of the county go to Rodef.
