When: Dec. 10,

Oseh
Shalom’s unique Sanctuary dome is scheduled to be removed and replaced from Tuesday,
December 10, weather permitting as the main part
of a renovation project that will take approximately 3 days. The plan is for
the old dome, which is made of fiberglass, to be removed whole by crane on Tuesday
morning, December 10 between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. The crane will place
the old dome on the quad in front of the building. The removal by crane will
take approximately 25 minutes. The congregation’s membership and community
leaders will be invited to view this part of the renovation. The new dome will
be assembled and is expected to be completed prior to Friday evening services
that week.
The
dome covers Oseh Shalom’s sanctuary, allowing light to penetrate the
congregation’s prayer space. As light turns to darkness on Shabbat and
holidays, the dome provides visual evidence of the change from day to night.
The
dome has been in place for more than 22 years – the life of the building – but
it is now time to repair and replace it.
