“Dear Members,

I am excited to share that Young Israel of Woodmere has recently signed a contract for the purchase of the Woodmere Club House property and surrounding areas. Importantly, entering into this contract did not require any outlay of funds from the shul or membership.

While there is still much work ahead and additional steps that must take place before the process is finalized, this opportunity has the potential to open the door to many exciting possibilities for our kehillah and community. One of the central goals of this project is to create something that will meaningfully benefit Young Israel of Woodmere members and strengthen our community for generations to come. Potential opportunities may include expanded space for tefillah, catering and event space, affordable weddings and other simchas for members, playgrounds and recreational areas, and many other future communal uses and opportunities designed to enhance the communal experience for our membership.

Most importantly, we are pleased to share that this project is being structured in a way that will not require any additional assessments or building fund obligations from the membership. As this process moves forward, any final decision to complete the purchase would be brought before the membership for a formal vote.

I look forward to sharing continued updates with the community as this exciting project progresses.

With gratitude for your ongoing support and partnership,

Ari Schulman, President of Young Israel of Woodmere”

We wish Kehillah much Hatzlacha!
