The congregation reached a milestone on Friday when ground was ceremoniously broken for the new project. About 15 members of the congregation were joined by seven elected representatives, a handful of neighbors, and WCAX-TV attended the 10 am event. Speakers included Eve Jacobs-Carnahan (president), Mary Hooper (mayor and state representative), Ann Cummings (state senator), and Barney Bloom (vice-president). Rabbis Tobie Weisman and Shana Margolin (members of the congregation) provided spiritual and religious context to the proceedings, relating the event to the week's Torah reading. Eve and Barney pushed a shovel into the earth and the congregation sang "Mazel Tov."Sunday, May 23, 2010
