We at Kesher Israel Congregation are on the cusp of beginning an exciting, new chapter in the life of our synagogue. In the fall of 2019, the Congregation approved the purchase of the former Riverside Methodist Church at 3200 North Third Street as the new home of Kesher Israel. Shortly thereafter, we reached an agreement with a local investment group to buy the building at 2500 North Third Street, where we have resided for the last 60 years.

Our decision to relocate the synagogue is the culmination of many years of trying to find a new building that would be a better fit for the demographics of the Congregation.  In particular, the impending move offers a number of advantages to the KI membership.  Those advantages include: (1) a more manageable walk for most of our members; (2) more practical, flexible and family-friendly space; and (3) significant reductions in projected annual utility and maintenance costs. 

This webpage will keep you informed about the progress with construction, the opportunities for giving, and the status of the planning process to date.
