Monsey Cheder Completes Purchase of Expansive Five Acre Campus

Right at the start of Chodesh Adar, the Cheder Chabad of Monsey closed on 228 New Hempstead Rd in New City, NY.

The property, set on a beautiful 5 acre campus, was the former site of Temple Beth Shalom, a local reform temple. The site currently has a space that can be used as a shul with capacity for 350 people, social hall with capacity for 280 people, a commercial kitchen, offices, and a wing with classrooms that until today has been rented as the home of our preschool.

This acquisition allows the school to plan thoughtfully for continued growth. In the first phase the Cheder plans on building a 30,000 square ft wing to meet the demands of our ever growing boys’ school.

The new campus will feature bright classrooms, indoor spaces for physical activity, and outdoor facilities. Planned highlights for the development of this site include sports fields, outdoor learning areas, and an educational garden, giving our students the ability to grow to their fullest בגשמיות וברוחניות. The total cost of the project once completed will be $12.5 million.

“This purchase will propel our Cheder into a new era of growth, allowing us to meet the demands of our growing community and to further enhance the quality of our Chinuch,” shared Rabbi Dovid Brawer.
