Sacred Space Through the Lens of History 06/05/2019

Barrie Knapp speaks about the changes that have taken place in the Ahavath Gerim Synagogue interior since the building's construction in 1885, and how each congregation that has worshiped in the space -- including the newly established Ruach haMaqom -- has left a mark on the 134-year-old sanctuary that's located in Burlington's Old North End.

Knapp recently graduated from the University of Vermont with a bachelor's degree in art history. For an independent study research project, she studied the early 20th-century Jewish immigration in Burlington and will share some of her findings on how the community's various liturgical shifts are reflected in Burlington's synagogues.

Learn more about Congregation Ruach HaMaqom and their campaign to raise awareness and funds to add ADA access to their building at www.ruachhamaqom.org

Champlain Housing Trust Meeting on the Purchase of the St. Joseph’s School 11/30/2016

Champlain Housing Trust reached an agreement with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington to lease and then purchase the St. Joseph’s School on Allen Street in Burlington’s Old North End. The former Catholic School has been home to Robin’s Nest Children Center, Association of Africans Living in Vermont, and the Janet S. Munt Family Room providing needed services to the community. The purchase allows these programs to continue in the building along with a new tenant, the City of Burlington’s Parks & Recreation Department.

CHT hosts a meeting at the school (20 Allen Street) on November 30 to let the community know about the plans and solicit feedback.
