    Baruch Hashem, but maybe we can get the roof fixed first? And something could be done with the trailers?

  • back pay now

    Very nice!! Now please pay your teachers. I can say that because I don’t have girls in the school anymore, they are all married, so I don’t pay tuition. But it’s very sad to know how badly the teachers are paid. Yes, it’s important to grow physically, but how can there not be any money for salaries when you build?

    Where are other Gvirim who can get salaries back on track? I know it’s not as glamorous as having a building named after you, but these teachers are devoted & parents can only be bled so much. I should know, I was one of the payers. In this economy I’m grateful I don’t have kids in school, I can’t afford the tuition I used to pay.

  • good news

    yay I guess that means the teachers will be getting paid now that we discovered this whole new cache.

    Go Benjy?!?! Go Rabbi Shemtov!! Nothing wrong with Benjy, but its rabbi A Shemtov, the 70+ year old man which puts together MILLIONS of dollars a year, from thin air to keep this mosad that was so dear to the Rebbe running. (among his many other imp stuff that he does). Does anyone in CH have some appreciation???? A little bit of decency????

  • Great

    Great news! I am a greatful parent who truly appreciates this!

    Yes, the school needs to work on things so they can pay their teachers on time, and be able to retain their best teachers, that is a noble goal too. In no way does it discount this beautiful news.

    Oh, and anyone who calls people “farmers” needs to check their view of the world and their sense of ahavas yisroal.Seriously, get out of your own head and labeling people so you can feel better about putting people down, how immature.

  • Thank you!! Wonderful news!

    Thank you Rabbi Shmetov! and Thank you Reb Dovid fro being such a great example of tzedaka and chesed. Mimenu yir’u vechin ya’asu!

  • chossid

    pay for teachers should come from tuitions
    This Rabbi A Shemtov is a true chossid,just if you compare with JCC that got more than 6 millions and the money is missing. This Rabbi gets 2 millions and go to the all community

  • get your priorities straight

    space is not something the school is lacking in, why search for donors for an addition to the building?? you need space, go use those empty classrooms in your “old” building at 310 crown st. go find donors to pay your teachers or to help start a tuition fund to help those struggling families (who are alumni of YOUR school where they were brainwashed about having large families and the “dangers” of college which is usually not synonymous with paying full tuition)

    to number 16 there are no extra classes at bais rivka high school, maybe they should take these extra buildings and build the high school. There are way too many problems with the old building such as it is falling apart and there is no proper heating, not to mention the bathroom situation. I believe its important to learn in a nice clean place. Another great idea would be to build a recreational pool for the school and for the community. Thank you for Mr. David for helping the school may hashem continue to give you blessings.
