We have very exciting news!
You will finally begin to see changes to our building site. Beginning on or about Wednesday, April 10th, work will begin to clear the area of trees, sidewalks, curbs, and other debris. Trenches will be dug for pipes and electrical lines. As you enter from Oak Tree Road, the parking lot on the left side will be closed off to everyone except authorized personnel, as it will be an active construction zone.
As construction progresses, normal routines will change and be disrupted. We will do our absolute best to keep you updated as we learn of developments.
Watch for updates, photos, and videos as our new home grows from the ground! The more you visit us in the office and attend services and programs, the more you will see the advancement of our incredible project.
Please make sure to open the emails so you always have the most up-to-date information. You can also find these updates right here on our website.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our beautiful groundbreaking ceremony! If you were unable to be there, we hope you looked at the photos and read the speeches. We know that you are waiting to see progress on the site. We wish it were simple to show you a visual of all of the progress we have been making! Permits are being finalized. The building committee is working diligently on the interior. We are working with Old Forge Construction on the final site details that need to be put in place before mobilizing the entire team. We recognize that this work looks invisible to you, but each piece brings us closer to seeing our collective vision rise from the ground. Please feel free to reach out to the building committee or office with any questions you have.
L'shalom,
The TEE Building Committee

On Tuesday, January 30, 2024, members of Temple Emanu-El and the JCC, donors, staff, and dignitaries gathered to break ground on Temple Emanu-El's new spiritual home and the JCC of Middlesex County expansion. This event was long awaited and full of excitement and hope for all that is to come in our very bright future!

Dear Temple Emanu-El Community,
We would like to update you on the latest information regarding our new construction. We are currently winding down the next step of the bidding process. As that step reaches its completion, we are simultaneously working to deal with site preparation. We understand how difficult it is to wait to get to see evidence of all that has been going on behind the scenes. We share your frustration. However, our committee takes our fiduciary responsibility to the congregation very seriously, and we want to guarantee the financial viability of each aspect of the project. We are diligently moving toward our end goal, and look forward to our next exciting steps. Our Congregational Meeting is taking place on Wednesday, December 20th at 8:00pm. There will be an update given that evening, and we hope you join us to hear it.
Thank you,
The Temple Emanu-El Building Committee: Michael Leber, Dana Shectman, Casey Horgan, & Dominic DiFilippo

A lot of progress has been made on our project since our last update! As we shared in June, ten contractors were invited to bid. We received bids from six firms. We then worked with our consultant and the JCC to narrow it down to three. We interviewed each of them individually and were able to turn our focus to two exceptional options. The consultant, the contractors, the JCC, and our TEE team worked together to create a list of modifications to the plan in order to guarantee the most cost effective solutions possible, while ensuring our requirements and needs are met. The final two groups are now modifying their bids and will be presenting them to us shortly. We understand that it is challenging to wait as this important process is completed. We share your frustrations, but also would like to share our growing excitement with you. Although visually you are not seeing much progress at all, we promise that there is a tremendous amount of work consistently happening behind the scenes that is bringing us to that greatly anticipated shovel in the ground!
We have reached the bidding stage!

Very exciting news! As of last week, our project is in the bidding stage. The request for bid package was sent out to ten contractors and nine have responded that they will be bidding on our new construction. Bids must be in by July 14th and we will keep you posted once our committee and the board have reviewed them.
Be on the lookout for our new signs that are finally in and will be installed on the Temple property in the upcoming days.
