Building Projects - Bet Torah

Home > ABOUT US > New Building Projects

Now more than ever, we find strength in coming together to work for the future of our extraordinary community.

We have identified key building improvements that will enhance how our community learns, engages, relates, and collaborates. The Bet Torah Foundation campaign will enable new and enhanced community spaces including:

New playground and hardscape area
Improved offices for our wonderful clergy
Second floor renovation to create three new flexible learning spaces for all ages
A built out Sanctuary entrance for increased gathering opportunities
Streamlined main entrance

Project status May 2025

We are thrilled to share that after months of efforts, in May 2025 we obtained the first major set of approvals from the Town of Mount Kisco Planning Board for all of the building projects. With additional approvals, architectural drawings and construction drawings still to come, we want to acknowledge the ongoing volunteer efforts of Tara Bernzweig, Stuart Ginsberg, Jason Kalish, Stuart Lachs and Sam Hest, in collaboration with our senior staff and vendors.

Along with continued community wide-fundraising efforts, we are optimistic about breaking ground in the Fall of 2025, after the High Holy Days. We are hopeful that the projects will continue for 11 months (with some running simultaneously) and be completed by the Fall of 2026. Minimizing disruption, while maintaining an efficient construction schedule, continues to be our priority. This means that while some entrances might change or classrooms, offices and meeting areas might move temporarily, the sanctuary will not be touched, our social hall will remain functional, and we will continue to have sufficient classroom space, and there will always be a playground space for our littlest ones to play. We will work hard to communicate any changes in advance, and appreciate your patience and collaboration as we begin these meaningful enhancements to our communal space.
