It’s been quite a while since I posted a pic of JRC’s new building. We’ve been settling in for about half a year now and are thoroughly enjoying our new home. Here’s a shot of the exterior with our new front garden, filled with local, drought-resistant species planted by our devoted Garden Havurah.
Our house is quickly becoming a spiritual home: it’s witnessed many, many celebrations, classes, meetings, etc. Also B’nai Mitzvah, two weddings, and sadly, too many funerals. It’s breathtaking how quickly you create memories…
We should be getting official word on our LEED rating from the US Green Building Council very, very soon. We are still hoping for Platinum – stay tuned!
It’s really more beautiful than it looks. Especially when one looks out the window of the small sanctuary, one can see the climbing plants enhancing the beauty of the Gambion(? sp) wall. The vigor of the plants mirrors the strength of the community.
