The Holzmans and Stampfers join together to ceremonially break ground for the new Rabbi Joshua and Goldie Stampfer Chapel, for which the Holzman family donated $1 million.

As of the Nov. 3 groundbreaking, the capital campaign had raised $6.1 of the $8.5-9.5 million goal, under the leadership of campaign chairs Alan Blank and Merritt Yoelin. The capital campaign will fund an expansion of 13,000 square feet to the existing 58,000-square-foot Conservative synagogue, as well as upgrades to the existing building and Neveh’s two cemeteries. A new wing will consolidate the administrative offices, library and gift shop near the entry.
