Dear friends,

While investigating a recurring issue in our rooftop HVAC system, technicians found issues in 2 of the three units. In one system a control board has to be replaced - this is on order and we hope to have it resolved within a week. Further, the ignition chamber of the second unit has to be replaced - we are awaiting the analysis / proposal for this. While these old units are past the end of their functional lifecycle, they had further stress placed on them while operating daily since the beginning of Covid. 

Additionally, our Building Committee has been working with the same Engineer involved in our facade work to review our rooftop options. By all accounts, our roof will have to be completely replaced. Our Executive Director, Chad Hopkovitz, has the preliminary application ready for a new Dept. of Energy grant that can assist with financing a roof replacement. We are also reviewing our options and incentives for replacing the rooftop HVAC units to a more efficient system. Our tentative timeline is to begin this work in the Spring of 2023.

In the meantime, due to severe cold weather reports, please note the following location changes for this weekend, listed below this letter.

We thank you for your patience. Indeed, we recognize the warmth of our shul does not only emanate from the heat in the vents - but also from our members' encouragement and support.

Wishing you a Chanukah Sameach,

Yoni Vega
