A feeling of great simcha spread throughout Monsey with the announcement that construction is planned to begin on the beautiful new “Bais Medrash Bais Mordechai,” under the leadership of Harav Hatzaddik Reb Mordechai Tzvi Steiner Shlita.

The new Bais Medrash is expected to serve as a major makom Torah and tefillah for the growing kehilla, with construction expected to get underway in the near future.

In a special dedication that will stand for generations, the main shul of the Bais Medrash was generously donated by the longtime askan and supporter of Torah institutions, Reb Avrohom Yaakov (Abe) Friedman. In recognition of his outstanding generosity and lifelong dedication to building Torah and helping mosdos, the main shul will carry the name “Heichal Avrohom Yaakov.”

Members of the kehilla expressed tremendous excitement over the historic milestone, saying the new Bais Medrash will bring added chizuk and growth to Torah life in Monsey for many years to come.
