The process of water mitigation has begun, and we are working closely with insurance adjusters and restoration professionals to develop a comprehensive recovery plan. At the same time, there are many building, construction, insurance, and related personnel on site. For everyone’s safety, please do not come to the synagogue until further notice.
We will communicate regularly through our weekly electronic News & Notes email to keep you informed as plans develop. Additionally, look for further updates on a new tab we are creating on our website entitled “Keeping You Informed“.
If you need to contact Rav Aubrey or any member of the office staff, please continue to call the synagogue office. While the building is physically closed, voicemail messages will be retrieved.
At approximately 5:30 pm Thursday, February 19, 2026, a sprinkler pipe burst in our building. The alarm was triggered immediately, but unfortunately the first and second floors sustained significant flooding before the water could be shut off. Water remediation began immediately.
Out of an abundance of caution, all of our Torahs, siddurim, chumashim, and library books have been moved from the building to protect them from further damage.
We are incredibly grateful to the many volunteers who worked through the night boxing up and safeguarding these sacred and valuable items. Their dedication and love for our congregation was truly inspiring.
We are currently in contact with insurance adjusters. At this time, we do not know yet the full extent of the damage or when we will be able to return to the building. After we have a better assessment, we will share that information with you.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support during these unfortunate circumstances.
Our building may be facing challenges, but our community remains strong.
