Bais Rivkah Schools celebrated a major milestone on Sunday, כ״א חשון-November 1st, with the dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony of its newly completed Seminary building at 461 East New York Avenue in Crown Heights.
The event marked the completion of an important expansion project for the school, which has continued to grow over the years and now serves nearly 3,000 students across its various divisions.
Following months of work and anticipation, the new state-of-the-art facility is complete, and Seminary students have already begun learning in the building. The additional space provides much-needed room for the Seminary and helps address the growing needs of one of the largest Chabad educational institutions in the world.
The new building is part of a broader expansion effort, representing the next phase of a major investment in the future of Bais Rivkah. The school’s continued growth has created significant demands on its existing facilities, making additional classrooms and educational spaces essential to ensuring that students have the environment and resources they need to succeed.
For Bais Rivkah Seminary, the new facility represents more than additional classroom space. Established in accordance with the vision of the Rebbe, the Seminary plays an important role in preparing young women for their future responsibilities as Jewish women, educators, and builders of Chassidishe homes. Through Torah and Chassidus studies, teacher training, and personal development, the Seminary continues to shape generations of young women who carry its values into communities around the world.
The project was made possible through the generosity and partnership of the many parents, supporters, and friends of Bais Rivkah who recognized the importance of investing in the school’s future.
The dedication also comes as Bais Rivkah marks 85 years since its founding in 1941 by the Frierdiker Rebbe. What began with just 30 students has grown into a vast educational network serving nearly 3,000 girls, from preschool through post-high-school programs.
The new Seminary building stands as another expression of that remarkable growth and of the continued commitment to providing generations of Jewish girls with a strong foundation in Torah, Chassidus, and chinuch.
The school expressed its appreciation to all those whose generosity, dedication, and efforts helped bring the project to completion, inviting the community to share in this important milestone.
