A newly constructed roadway in New Square has officially opened and is being dedicated as “Mrs. Hoffman Way” in memory of Mrs. Zlata Hoffman A”H, the longtime principal of the Skvere girls school who devoted more than 40 years to the community’s education system.

The street, which is still undergoing final construction work as seen in photos from the scene, will serve multiple important functions for the community. During the daytime hours, the roadway will be used for school bus drop-off and dismissal for the girls school, where Mrs. Hoffman served generations of students with dedication and care.

At night, the road will be converted into parking for the nearby Livnas Beunos chasuna hall, providing approximately 55 parking spots. Community members say the additional parking is expected to significantly reduce vehicles blocking nearby driveways and streets during events.

Mrs. Hoffman was widely respected throughout the Skvere community for her decades of leadership and devotion to chinuch. Her petirah in November brought an outpouring of grief from residents and former students whose lives she impacted over the years.
