Help Us to Rebuild Our Shul
We are well on our way to preparing our synagogue to
meet the needs of this growing community: First, we are
addressing the urgent structural problems of our two
buildings. As you can see from the picture on the right
hand side, or when you attend services, the main building
containing our sanctuary and a Beit Midrash has
continued to deteriorate since last year. There is severe
water damage; some of our beautiful stained glass
windows are falling out, as the window sashes are rotten;
and since last winter, we have been unable to use the
Beit Midrash downstairs due to severe mold and chipping
paint. The adjacent building, containing another
sanctuary (out of use for a long time) and a downstairs
social hall, has been condemned for more than three
years.
Fortunately, we are working with a local architect and a
contractor who specializes in religious and historic
buildings, and should have permission to begin our
renovation soon. Initially, we will repair the main building,
including the necessary structural repairs to the walls and
windows. This will allow us to continue holding regular
services and to resume classes in the Beit Midrash.
To date, we have raised $130,000 towards this project.
Our goal of $175,000 now seems to be achievable,
hopefully with your help.
