Dear friends,

My heart is full of so much joy as I see all of the support you’ve shown us in the first 48 hours of this campaign. This project to transform a historic Jewish synagogue into a performing arts center, worship space and community center is a labor of love for me, and it’s so great to see people step up to affirm our vision.

I hope you’ll keep up with us over the weeks ahead as we dive into this journey together. Each week, we’ll share videos and photographs highlighting the past, present and future of the building and the overlapping communities that have called it home.

So stay tuned! And thanks again for your support!

Yours truly,

Pastor Aramis D. Hinds
Executive Director
Bethel Community Transformation Center
