We are about to launch our Building Our Future: Temple Adath Or’s PHASE II Capital Campaign
We launched our Phase I Capital Campaign – Building or Future, Together As One – back in December, 2022.
By September, 2023, we closed on our future property in East Delray, affectionately known as “440”. We are working with the city to rezone and will soon launch our Phase II, once the rezoning is complete. We anticipate this by the end of Q2, if not sooner.
The property is an ideal location, in the heart of one of the fastest growing Jewish communities in South Florida, Delray Beach, considered now one of the fastest growing Jewish communities in America.
It is .67 acres, currently zoned residential. We are in the process of completing the application to pitch to the city to be zoned community/religious. In the interim, we have engaged with the local churches to use their facilities and parking while we sometimes use the property for private events.
We are adjacent to three churches and other local agencies, now affectionately referred to as “Gd’s Corner.” We are working hard to strengthen our fellowship with the Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority, Parks and Rec, City Hall, the Chamber of Commerce, Police Department, Fire Department, local business, churches and “The Set”. We have become especially involved with the Delray Beach Interfaith Committee and have joined and helped to reestablish the Delray Beach Interfaith Clergy Committee. Through these efforts, we are making a real difference in the lives of Delray Beach citizens and those less fortunate. We are creating bonds with our fellow religious leaders and community, as well as local political and civic leaders.
We completed Phase I of our Capital Campaign. We had a mini-campaign for synagogue seats in May and June, 2023. We are almost ready to kick-off Phase II, as we inch closer to rezoning.
Be a part of history and help make permanent the first synagogue in East Delray.
