R. Teichman Opening Shul, Beis Medrash Near Smith Ave.

A letter is circulating with details of a metting in the coming weeks to discuss a new shul and beis medrash in the works, with R. Zvi Teichman as rav. The new shul is planned to be in the Pickwick/Indian Village area (in other words, near, possibly across Smith Ave.). The letter is somewhat vague, but it sounds like what is being planned is more than just a shul, but a kind of post-high school yeshiva/college hybrid program, along the lines of the beis medrash program at Yeshiva of Greater Washington in Silver Springs.

R. Teichman is the former Rosh Mesivta of Talmudical Academy.

We just got the letter today. It looks like they're not even sure that its going to happen, and that they're going to have a meeting to see if there will even be enough demand/want for such a shul.

Hey, I'd daven there when I visited. Assuming they had a mechitzah for the wife. I like a good yeshivish minyan - they're fast, and they don't talk much. Berger's would be great, except they're too small physically, and I've got to toss men out of the women's section every time I bring the wife to mincha.
