NEW HEIGHTS CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
We are delighted that our amazing community came together to provide the support for our initial $9.5 million fundraising goal, but like every construction project, ours was no different and didn’t come without its challenges and unforeseen circumstances. To continue to build on the success of this campaign and close the gap between our actual construction project costs and what we still need to raise, we are seeking additional funds to pay down our mortgage. Every dollar counts!
This project successfully joined and upgraded our two buildings. This effort began in 2012 when 127 Remsen St, the building next door, became available. The congregation, through the Growing Together Campaign and a bequest from the late Irving Weissler, purchased the building and occupied the first two floors. In 2017 we launched the New Heights Campaign to fund renovating and combining our buildings.
Our community was engaged: 261 members of all ages, demographics, and years of membership stepped up and supported our dream. To everyone who participated in the Campaign and worked on the committees – thank you. And to those who directly endured the day-today challenges of our multi-year renovation and dislocation to various spaces throughout Brooklyn Heights – our Clergy and staff – a sincere thank you for your flexibility, tenacity, and support. This community would not be celebrating this amazing achievement without you.
Thank you to our supporters!

This bigger home we imagined is now available for all of us to enjoy. We have dedicated space for our Preschool, our Clergy, and our Educators; a large social room for Jewish holiday celebrations, lifecycle events and other gatherings; a much bigger outdoor space for Preschool and member events; classrooms for religious school, adult education, and meetings (in person); and windows in our multipurpose room used for the Homeless Shelter, student play, and whatever we can dream of doing there.
