Northbrook Congregation Agrees to Neighbors' Demands on New Synagogue

After a contentious debate between the congregation and neighbors, Darchei Noam has agreed to make changes to the building, parking lot and grounds.

After much public outcry, the Darchei Noam congregation has agreed to make several changes to a new building and surrounding land in order to make neighbors of the new synagogue happy, according to an article in the Northbrook Star.

Neighbors had been upset about many components of the proposed building at 3465 Techny Road, including a path from a side street to the synagogue, which they were worried would lead to parking on that street, the height of fences and the type of trees.
