A building of our own

We've grown so much without a building of our own. After 15 years of growth, we're ready to grow more, with our own, purpose-built space.

The plan

A new building for our shul, complete with all the facilities to allow our kehila to flourish. Room for 150 mispallelim, in a prime location in the center of Har Nof.

01

Airy beis medrash

Today

A windowless room for davening

A spacious and airy beis midrash that makes everyone feel welcome at shul, with glorious acoustics for uplifting tefillah.

02

Shiur and function room

Today

No facility for kiddushim or shiurim

A dedicated space for celebrating simchas and hosting events and programs for all members of our shul.

03

Spacious ladies' gallery

Today

Space for 5 ladies

A roomy ladies' section that allows the women of our kehila to have the space to daven in comfort.

The progress

After being awarded a plot of land by the City Council and successfully negotiating many challenging bureaucratic hoops, construction is now in full swing.

Cornerstone laying

We marked the building of the shul's first foundations with a festive cement pouring, attended by Rabbonim, shul members, and friends of the kehila. The excitement was palpable at this significant concrete step towards a new finished shul.

Watch our shul grow

For our many kehila members living near the construction site, the excitement is building. The noise of drilling, the arrival of cement trucks, the banging of hammers: it's a welcome part of the daily soundtrack, and a constant reminder that our shul building is actually taking shape.
