THE JEWISH WEEK
NEW YORK---Two Manhattan synagogues are among 23 “Sacred Sites” in New York State that have received grants for physical repairs form the New York Landmarks Conservancy. A $30,000 Jewish Heritage Fund Grant to the Stanton Street Synagogue on the Lower East Side will help pay for repairs on the building’s exterior walls, and a grant of $25,000 to the East Village’s Sixth Street Community Synagogue will go towards repairs of its roof and façade. “You don’t have to be religious to understand that religious institutions contain some of our finest art and architecture,” said Peg Breen, Conservancy president, in a statement.
