Building Our Kehillah

A stronger home for minyan, learning, and community

Back Lawrence Shul is growing. Our kehillah needs more space for daily minyanim, shiurim, and simchos — and a building that reflects the warmth of our community. This campaign funds essential renovations and improvements so we can welcome more families, expand learning programs, and serve the neighborhood for generations. Every gift, at every level, brings us closer to a shul that meets the needs of our kehillah today and tomorrow.
