MorahRach, I visited the jewish community in washington dc about 9 years ago, there was one shul in Georgetown which is a suburb, the community was older, the restaurants that were there had all closed up. It wasn’t a very yeshivish community either. I wouldn’t recommend moving there unless its changed within 8 years.
Vogue, what you said about hanna sacks was loshon hora and could have even been motzi shem ra. I know the several people on the administration personally and they are wonderful people. If you want to know the difference between hanna sacks and bais yaakov high school, I’ll tell you what I think the diffrenece is. Bais Yaakov High school is extremely yeshivish and very strict,. The principal’s husband is the Rosh Yeshiva of Telshe Chicago. It’s that hashkafa. Hanna Sacks Bais Yaakov is extremely frum but only to a certain extent. They say you need to look proper and be human.
