- Why A Building?
- URGENCYDue to lack of current space, we can no longer offer FREE High Holiday services open to the entire community.
- Young Professionals aren’t affiliating, they feel disconnected, and are dropping out of religion entirely.
- Access to Kosher prepared foods is limited, and Kosher event venues are rare. Making Kosher eating very challenging for our community.
- The Youth of today are losing interest in Jewish education, due to over-stimulation in every other aspect of our lives.
- Modern technology is increasing the stress level in our lives, causing us to lose focus on what’s truly important.
- Our community is fragmented, with Jews today identifying themselves as Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, or non-affiliated. This division threatens to accelerate our assimilation.
- Jewish preschools are sold out, and young families need more options to enhance the quality of our children’s education.
