MERGING TEMPLES MAY GET NEW HOME

Temple B’nai Araham which meets in the Wellington Mall is merging with Temple B’nai Jacob in West Palm Beach and seeks to purchase a Wellington Village owned 2.82-acre parcel on the south side of Lake Worth Road, bordered on the west by Wellington Shores Drive. The Wellington Village Counsel has reacted favorably to their request. An inventory of the village land, designated for civic uses, is being made. A temple building is envisioned of 8-10,000 sq ft for services, social events, classrooms and an office. Parking would comply with zoning requirements. Beginning with 8 members, then growing to 45 families, the Temple expects to gain 90 – 100 additional members through the merger. The sale of the Temple B’nai Jacob property in West Palm Beach will help fund the land purchase.
