I think that there is a shul at the end of the tunnel! The building is looking so cool and even inspiring for us and for the whole community.

It has been satisfying, fulfilling, even thrilling to go out of my way a little bit each week to see our building as it has taken shape. Now it’s bordering on exciting. Plain does not have to be ugly; in fact, I’m glad we’re building a simple lined structure. It makes the details even better.

Sydney – Your comments very much coincide with mine. When we got down to the final stages of trying to match as best we could Revenues with Expenses on the Building, we had to make cuts. I was so afraid that we ended up with a “square box”, but I now can see the beauty of what was designed by our architects. I am so much looking forward to seeing it complete. Shabbat Shalom!

I think I’m finally beginning to love it. I had thought that we had sacrificed beauty for efficiency and environmental sustainability–a sacrifice I willingly make. Now I think that maybe I was wrong. I think I can see the beauty in our new building from these photos. I guess I’ll have to do a drive-by soon! Except for JRC, Evanston isn’t in my usual path, so I haven’t been around to see the construction.
