Help us save a historic synagogue!
Happy Monday, everyone! To celebrate reaching $7,000 in our fundraising effort to purchase our historic synagogue building in Indiana, here are some fun facts about the building's history!
this is the oldest synagogue building in Indiana, and the 12th oldest still standing in the nation!
it was built in 1867 by Jacob Welschbillig for the Ahavas Achim Congregation, one of the state's largest German-Jewish communities at the time.
the structure was built in a unique variation of the Romanesque style and used mostly local materials, with the exception of the stained glass windows.
before moving into this building the congregation met in a storeroom above a gun shop!
