Congregation Beth Israel has announced that current pledge commitments are ahead of initial projections for the current stage of the capital campaign for the $14.5-million redevelopment of the synagogue. As a result of the strong support, the Campaign Committee will approach the membership in early April to seek approval to officially launch the capital campaign.
The project is currently in the rezoning phase and will include construction of a new 18,000 sq. ft. synagogue, conversion of the existing 26,000 sq. ft. synagogue to become the Family Life & Education Centre, and a new 26,000 sq. ft. community-services facility.
