GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Construction has been underway for months on a 70-year-old reform Jewish synagogue along Fulton Street in Grand Rapids.

Right across from Aquinas College and a block from Schnitz Deli, Temple Emanuel is working on enclosing a staircase exposed to the elements, safely improving the flow upon entering the building.
