Building Improvement Fund
In addition to your membership support, which supports Ramath Orah's operations, we are in the midst of a number of major building improvements that will help make our infrastructure more secure, accessible, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.

In the past two years, we renovated our bimah to add an internal ramp to make it easier to access the bimah, and glass panels to make it easier to see. In the coming year, we aim to improve the carpeting, upgrade our security system, replace our front doors, and more.

Building improvements such as these rely on every member to participate. Whereas your general membership supports our operations, this contribution is earmarked for building improvements. You may learn about our ongoing plans on the bimah and mechitzah campaign, and may contribute on that web page, or you may contribute here while renewing your membership.
