Staenberg Kooper Fellman Campus Transformation Project

We are excited to announce our major campus renovation is near completion! In order to create an engaging campus that meets the needs of its 21st century visitors, we have updated spaces that needed remodeling, re-thinking spaces that could be better utilized, and matching the facility with the modern programming our staff is developing. Each campus renovation was done in accordance with our mission of building and maintaining a vibrant Jewish community, not only for today but for generations to come. We have appreciated your patience during this time and hope you enjoy the new spaces!
