A major extension has been constructed alongside the Beis Medrash on Duelk Avenue in Shechinas Zera Kodesh, providing urgently needed additional space ahead of Rosh Hashanah as the rapidly growing crowd continues to outgrow the existing facilities.

The large new structure extends outward from the current Beis Medrash and was put up at remarkable speed, with the entire project taking less than a week to complete so that it could be ready in time for the upcoming Yom Tov.

The expansion comes in addition to longer-term plans already underway for a new facility on a nearby lot that was acquired shortly after Chanukah. However, with Rosh Hashanah approaching and the existing Beis Medrash already unable to comfortably accommodate the growing number of mispallelim, waiting for the permanent project was simply not an option.

The decision was therefore made to immediately create additional space alongside the current building, giving the Beis Medrash a significant increase in capacity for the large Rosh Hashanah tefillos.

Crews moved rapidly on the project, completing in a matter of days what would ordinarily require considerably more time. The newly added space is now being prepared for use, ensuring that the Beis Medrash will be able to accommodate the expected crowds over Rosh Hashanah.
