On December 1st, 1965, a fire destroyed The Church of St. Matthew and St. Timothy, our closest religious neighbor. In the months that followed, our synagogue became shared space; the church held its services within our walls. Now, on the 50th anniversary of this event, our communities will join together for a weekend of hospitality, learning, and thanksgiving.
