    Introduction:

    ("the Vilna"), is the historic and present home for Jewish life in downtown Boston, a vital and bustling center for arts and culture, as well as the only remaining immigrant-era synagogue building in downtown Boston.

    Currently celebrating its centennial year, the Vilna is at a pivotal moment in its history, poised to broaden its reach, engage new audiences and visitors, and deepen its impact as both a living museum and a unique Jewish institution where arts, culture, and community intersect for Bostonians of all ages.
