gatherings, exemplifying why our organization is so vital.-In September 2023, we opened a licensed pre-school satellite at a neighboring synagogue, in an effort to address high-demand for our program, and waitlists due to lack of space on at our main campus.-Our Master Planning Task Force and Board of Directors engaged the services of an architectural firm to help us envision possibilities for expanding and enhancing our campus in order to serve our community today and tomorrow. 11761799 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true false
