The IBA (Israel Broadcasting Authority) Building in the Romeima neighborhood of Jerusalem will be vacated in the coming months and transformed to a Boyaner Chassidus beis medrash. While the building is yet to be vacated, chassidim are optimistic they will be in the new building before the Tishrei Yomim Tovim.

The Boyan Beis Medrash is about 150 meters from the IBA Building. Ladaat News reports it has learned the building is being given over to Boyan to permit the chassidus to expand its beis medrash. The IBA has moved to Jaffa Street, into the old Shaare Zedek Hospital Building. It is added while at present it appears this will occur; the final bureaucratic decision has not yet been made so a last-minute change is possible.

There are other reports that Boyan plans to relocated to Modi’in Illit to a larger beis medrash to accommodate the need for a larger facility. There is also a report that says the current beis medrash will be enlarged by taking some of the area of the yeshiva.
