In a major milestone for its rapidly expanding kehillah, Khal Hampshire Hills received final approval for the construction of their new bais medrash at Monday night’s meeting of the Jackson Township Planning Board.
As the community has grown, so has the need for a larger and more suitable makom Torah U’Tefillah. Meticulous planning has been underway for the past several years to construct a state-of-the-art bais medrash befitting the kehillah. With the Planning Board’s green light, construction on this much-anticipated project can now officially begin.
The now-approved shul building will feature a spacious 4,300-square-foot bais medrash, along with an ezras nashim, two mikvaos, and a beautifully designed simcha hall. It will also feature over 100 parking spaces, enabling it to accommodate all those who frequent the bais medrash.
This new, expansive building will allow Khal Hampshire Hills to host all weekday tefilos, shiurim, and other learning opportunities, both during the week and on Shabbos.
Khal Hampshire Hills serves over 160 frum families. It is led by its esteemed Rov, Rav Yoel Marton, who serves as a guide and mentor to the kehillah – and beyond.
