Since 1878, our beautiful sanctuary has offered congregants a very special place to gather together. In our historic building, we come together for prayer, for celebrations, for learning and for community. Temple members experience the energy, warmth and spiritual meaning of a community connecting with one another and with centuries of Jewish tradition.
A core tenet of Jewish tradition is support for institutions that transmit our values and build our community. Today we again have the opportunity to provide needed repairs to insure that the magnificent building and museum that we inherited endure for our families and for future generations.
THE NEED
This year our congregation is faced with $400,000 in additional needs – repairs needed to keep Congregation Mickve Israel whole for our members and visitors. The campaign will fund the following needed building improvements in the coming year:
- The eighteen year old roof over the Mordechai Sheftall Memorial Hall is leaking and needs replacement.
- The eighteen year old air conditioning units on the roof and in the sanctuary must be replaced.
- The sanctuary roof has ongoing leaks and needs repairs to maintain its integrity.
