 In 2002 Baith Israel Anshei Emes received a $ 1 million grant for building renovations from Lillian Goldman , just weeks before her death ; she had previously donated $ 20 million for the reconstruction and expansion of Yale Law School 's library , and $ 5 million to Manhattan 's 92nd Street Y for a family center there . After raising over $ 2 million more , including a $ 54 @,@ 000 grant from the Jewish Communal Fund , in 2003 the congregation began re @-@ building the three story school / community center from the ground up , leaving only the historic facade . In 2004 the building was re @-@ opened as the " Sol and Lillian Goldman Education Center " , and a day @-@ time pre @-@ school launched . Though the sanctuary also needed extensive repairs , the renovations of the school / community center were undertaken first because the congregation decided " a venue for social functions is at the heart of every cohesive religious group " . The following year , the school received a $ 25 @,@ 000 grant from the Edith Glick <unk> Children 's Foundation " [ t ] o assist in the development of the Kane Street Kids program for pre @-@ school age children housed in the Congregation 's Early Childhood Center " .
