Yeshivas Lubavitch of Baltimore Moves Into New Building

R. Ephraim Rosenbloom affixing the Mezuzah as Rabbi Dovid Weber looks on.

On Friday Vov Cheshvan/October 19, Yeshivas Lubavitch of Baltimore, only in its third year since opening, moved into their new building. During the past two years the yeshiva used space in Ohel Levi Yitzchok Lubavitch under the leadership of Rabbi Elchonon Lisbon. With the increased growth of the yeshiva from one Shiur in its first year to two Shiurim in its second year and close to 50 Bochurim and Talmidim Hashluchim, the need for the yeshiva to have a building of its own became quite clear.

Removing the Torah scrolls, backing up their computer files, and printing out community member lists, the Shluchim at 15 Chabad centers in the city lost no time ensuring that every individual or family appearing on their lists, were accounted for.

Dear Brother, Sister, Parent, and Shadchan,

Recently, I wrote an Op-Ed titled “A Plea for Shidduchim” (for those who missed it, it can be found by Clicking Here) I'm excited to see that it has gained over 120 comments! You have discussed many areas of Shidduchim, debated the 'divorced' issue, given dating advice, suggested new ways to meet, expressed frustration with various parts of the Shidduch process, called for a revamp of the whole “references” thing, and threw in some jokes to round it off. Of course, I appreciate all the compliments as well. Implementation of these ideas is key, and I call upon anyone who is in a position to make a difference, to do so.
