Dear Friends,
We are pleased to inform you that the construction of the Neria and
Manizheh Sanctuary, is completed. We have passed the final city inspection on Friday, March 6. The official Certificate of Occupancy is expected within the next 10 days. We are constantly receiving compliments from congregants and from passer byers congratulating us on the beautiful structure. Special thanks to Reudor Gratch, for his tremendous efforts to beautify the Sanctuary.
We are however, still in need of constructing and installing the furniture.
We expect that the installation of the Bimah and Aron Kodesh will begin next week. Once these essential items are completed, we will formally move into the new sanctuary. We are hopeful that we will do so before Pesach. The other items namely, the bookcases, memorial boards, the new Mechitzos, the artistic stained glass windows, and the Menorah is expected to be completed after Pesach. Temporarily, we will use our blue chairs for seating, until we reach a decision and raise the adequate funds for the purchase of pews. We are proud of what we have thus far accomplished and we look forward to finally have our services in our completed Sanctuary. The goal of our Building Campaign was to raise $1,250,000. We are pleased that thus far, in contributions and pledges we have raised $750,000. Special thanks to all those who came forward, to invest in the future of our West Orange County Jewish Community.
We are, however, quite far from reaching our Campaign goal. If you have not yet contributed, please do so as soon as possible. Presently, you have the unique opportunity to reserve a dedication in honor of a loved one. This is the Jewish way of honoring and giving an eternal Zechut (merit) to the souls of a dear parent or relative. It brings them great joy when Chesed (kindness), and Tzedokah is being done in this world, in their memory. Dedications can be paid over three years. If you are interested, please call our office.
Rabbi Aron Dovid Berkowitz
