Construction of the new Congregation Rodfei Zedek at 5200 South Hyde Park Boulevard was completed, and the building dedicated, in September 2000. (For details, see the Building Project Status Report.) This is actually Rodfei Zedek's second home at this location, having been constructed on the site of what was originally the synagogue's sanctuary, chapel and foyer. Designed by the architectural firm of Philip Kupritz and Associates, the building is the result of a unique cooperative project involving Congregation Rodfei Zedek and the Hyde Park Jewish Community Center, and the facility is shared by the two institutions.

The red brick and white masonry building covers 32,000 square feet on two floors. Parking for 45 cars is provided next to the building. A 320-seat sanctuary, expandable to 700 seats for High Holiday services, is located on the ground level, opening off an atrium-style foyer. The ground level also includes: synagogue office; offices of the Rabbi and Educational Director; Sisterhood gift shop; Hyde Park JCC offices, classrooms and gymnasium; social hall; and meat and dairy kitchens. Other Rodfei Zedek areas, including the chapel, classrooms, computer resource room and library are located on the upper level, accessible by elevator.
