The rehab of the old synagogue at the corner of Blaine & Klemm in McRee Town (ok, fine, "Botanical Heights") is nearing completion, and will soon re-open as MaTovu, an inclusive Jewish neighborhood center/event space that aims to re-establish a progressive Jewish presence in South City. Very cool that the building will not only be put back into functional use, but will also uphold a strong connection to its original purpose.

The building housed Tpheris Israel Synagogue from 1929-1944 according to Zion of the Valley by Walter Ehrlich.

The grand opening for the new (old) space is on October 5th.
