Beth Jacobs Synagogue

Montpelier, VT

The vibrant Beth Jacob Synagogue community in Montpelier, VT has a new gathering space for learning and assembly. Two walls of glass doors provide natural daylight and views of the sanctuary and new garden. The flexible space can be configured for a variety of programs, such as movement classes, movie screenings, celebrations, tutoring, and potluck dinners. Outside, hardscaping includes an accessible ramp elegantly integrated into the stone wall and leading to the new entry porch.
