Now that our live feed camera is back on, anyone who is unable to get up to the Temple to view “the action” in person will at least be able to tune in and check on the progress of the Project. The surveyors have outlined the building so you can now see the depth and breadth of our project. Every day there is something going on at the site.

  The City of Fullerton has compromised with us regarding the big hill of dirt at the top of the property. Originally they were expecting us to remove the dirt before they would give us our permits. It would have meant trucking it out and then back in order to back-fill the foundations. By covering the mound with the plastic, they are allowing us to leave it where it is until we need to use it.

  It is very appropriate that the very first wall to go up is our Holocaust Memorial Wall. As soon as the Jerusalem stone arrives from China, Joe Bloomfield’s brother Dave will be starting to put the stone on the wall.

  By the time you get to read this article we should have the rest of the foundation footings poured and then next will be the slab. We should be seeing the arrival of the steel by mid-April. At that time you will all truly be able to envision the size that our new Asa Learning Center will be.

  As a reminder to you all, we contribute to our community even if we do not choose or use all of its programs. As good citizens we accept this obligation. By ensuring the future of our Congregation through adequate financial support, we are doing our utmost to protect our Jewish future and that of our children, as well as generations to come. Those who came before us preserved our Jewish heritage for us. Our obligation is to do the same for our children. This is the why of Project Legacy. Please make sure your name is listed with ours on our honor walls. It is going to be a wonderful asset for us all when it is completed.
