We write today with extremely exciting news!  Our sanctuary renovation is almost complete!! B’nai Israel members currently have an extraordinary opportunity to ensure our well-being, now and into the future by making a one-to-three-year commitment to our 2020 Renovation Celebration Capital Campaign.

Recently, Bnai Israel has completed major repairs, in addition, but unrelated to the Sanctuary renovation.  We replaced an antiquated HVAC system,  repaired yet another leak and made necessary electrical and plumbing upgrades, all paid for by our Capital Improvement Fund(CIF). Although this fund is now depleted, our sanctuary renovation work offers us a unique opportunity to replenish the CIF and ensure the preservation, maintenance, and beautification of our building!  Your Annual Pledge will continue to subsidize operating expenses. Your Capital Campaign contribution will re-fund the CIF offering peace of mind down the road.

Today we launch the first Capital Campaign in many years at Bnai Israel!!

Our architect together with the dedicated Bnai Israel Design Committee have selected meaningful Judaic art to enhance the sanctuary. Along with general donations to the CIF, your sponsorship of these items and others can be designated in honor or memory of you or your family.  Donors to our CIF and sponsors will be named on a Capital Campaign 2020 plaque…a living legacy.

Expect a Committee member to reach out to you soon to discuss your participation by contributing to this campaign. NO gift is too small or too large and can be made in many forms and over time. (see next page). Opportunities abound, from the naming of a Lobby to the naming of a Mezuzah or simply a general donation to the Capital Improvement Fund.   It is a chance for all to feel that this is truly OUR home of worship. We hope your first sight of our beautifully renovated sanctuary will motivate your generosity like never before.

See you in our amazing “new” shul,

The Renovation Celebration & Capital Campaign Committee:

Jon, Alan, Lyne , Rena, Jerry, Barbara, Barry, Walter, and Laurel
