THE KEHILLAH OF CHANICHEI HAYESHIVOS IN THE NEWLY DEVELOPED NEIGHBORHOOD OF ACHUZAT YEARIM/TELZSTONE, HAS GROWN RECENTLY BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. THE SHUL IS, HOME TO MANY KOLLEL FAMILIES, ACCOMPLISHED TALMIDEI CHCHAMIM, AS WELL AS A LARGE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO SET ASIDE TIME FROM THEIR TOILS TO LEARN AND DAVEN IN A WARM BEIS MEDRASH.

IN OVER A DECADE SINCE IT WAS FOUNDED, THE SHUL WHICH BEGAN IN A PARKING GARAGE, HAS BEEN LOCATED IN TEMPORARY PREFABRICATED STRUCTURES, WHICH, DESPITE SEVERAL EXPANSIONS, NO LONGER HAS SUFFICIENT ROOM TO HOUSE THE ENTIRE KEHILLA. FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE AND BROCHOS OF GEDOLEI YSROEL THE KEHILLAH HAS EMBARKED ON CONSTRUCTION OF A PROPER BUILDING AS BEHOOVES A BEIS TORAH UTEFILLAH.

THE MEMBERS OF THE SHUL JOINED TOGETHER AND EACH FAMILY HAS GLADLY CONTRIBUTED WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND THEIR MEANS TO RAISE A SUBSTANTIAL SUM WHICH HAS ENABLED CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN, AND AN IMPRESSIVE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN ERECTED,

HOWEVER, THE FUNDING IS INSUFFICIENT TO CONCLUDE THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE COMMUNITY. WHO FEEL ITS DREAM IS WITHIN REACH, HAS GALVANIZED AND JOINED TOGETHER TO MAKE THE FINAL PUSH TO REACH THIS PRAISEWORTHY GOAL. THEY, WHO HAVE EXTENDED THEMSELVES BEYOND THEIR MEANS, TURN TO YOU, FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS OF THE KEHILLA TO LEND A HELPING HAND AND BRING THE PROJECT TO ITS CONCLUSION.

THE HOPE AND ASPIRATION OF THE COMMUNITY IS TO BUILD A PROPER SHUL WITH TORAH AND TEFILLAH PERMEATING ITS WALLS AND WITH THE BEAUTY THAT THE RAMBAM DESCRIBES AS APPROPRIATE FOR A MIKDASH ME’AT.

AT THIS MOMENT, WE TURN TO YOU, AND ARE OFFERING YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN WITH US IN THIS HOLY UNDERTAKING. TO JOIN PEOPLE WHO ARE DEDICATED AND HAVE GIVEN THEIR ALL, AND REQUIRE THAT FINAL ASSIST TO GLORIFY HASHEM’S NAME. THIS IS A ZECHUS, A MERIT, WHICH WILL BE YOURS FOR ETERNITY.

THANK YOU.
