This past week Yeshiva Toras Chaim High School moved into their newly remodeled educational space. The renovation project, encompassing over 10,000 square feet, includes the High School Bais Medrash, four new classrooms, the Media Center, science lab, teacher, administrative, and physical plant offices, staff kitchen and lounge, music suite, locker room, dormitory game and recreation lounge, and storage space. This area has been under construction for the last 18 months.

Students are particularly excited about our new Media Center. The Media Center has been generously dedicated by Dr. Jack Katz in memory of his mother, Bracha bas Yitzchok HaLevi, A”H. The center is sure to be the hub of activity during the school day as students research, learn, work with friends or alone, read and relax in the 1,300 square-foot facility. The center is also home to our Computer Center. With 27 flat-panel networked workstations, every YTC talmid will have his own login, account and storage space on our upgraded server.

We now have two technologically-enhanced classrooms each equipped with computers projectors and smartboards.

Rabbi Mordechai Palgon, Rosh HaYeshiva and Principal, commented, “We really owe a great debt of gratitude to HaKadosh Baruch Hu for allowing us to enhance our Torah learning and Secular Studies with this new space. We also would like to express heartfelt HaKoras HaTov to all those who worked so hard to make this dream a reality. Foremost in our minds and hearts, we would like to thank Rabbi Harayl Askotzky and Mr. Asher Perets for working tirelessly to bring about this day. Yasher Kochachem!”

The Yeshiva held a “ribbon cutting ceremony” to celebrate the move. During breakfast, the High School and Bais Medrash bochurim assembled in the dining room, where they heard divrei bracha v’chizuk from Rosh HaYeshiva Rabbi Binyomin Luban. Dr. Allan Jacob, long-time Rebbe, board member and friend of the Yeshiva, addressed the crowd as well. Dr. Jacob urged the students to take advantage of the new surroundings, and to maximize their potential during their years in the Yeshiva and beyond. The short program concluded with Rosh HaYeshiva Rabbi Yisroel Y. Niman cutting the ceremonial ribbon as the students hastened to their new classroom, excited to be the first ones to learn Torah in the facility.
