Yeshiva Toras Chaim Toras Emes celebrated the completion of its two new buildings with a chanukas habayis on Sunday, December 28. The program began with a parade featuring nearly 800 students from nursery through beis medrash. Live music was provided by Tekiah Orchestra.
The occasion marked the unveiling of a new 20,000 square foot educational building on the yeshiva’s south campus located on North Miami Beach Blvd. and a new dormitory on the Klurman Campus located on Miami Gardens Drive. The new building is home to the Rohr Middle School and the early childhood program. The project has enabled the expansion of all five divisions of the yeshiva. Klurman Elementary School students now have additional classrooms in both the girls’ building and the boys’ building. The new dormitory building has allowed the yeshiva to accept additional talmidim into the Dr. Abe Chames High School and Beis Medrash Zichro.
Rabbi Mordechai Palgon, rosh hayeshiva, offered opening remarks. Next came a d’var Torah by Rabbi Yaakov Tzvi Blejer, rosh kollel of the North Miami Beach Kollel. “A Student’s Perspective of the New Buildings” was presented by Miriam Drang and Gavriel Yechieli, kindergarten; Yehuda Gassner, grade eight; Nesanel Feuerman, grade ten; and Mordechai Dovid Anton, beis medrash. Dr. Eliot Hahn, grandparent and dedicator of the Hahn & Helfman facility, continued with words of inspiration. North Miami Beach Mayor George Vallejo addressed the community. Rabbi Bentzion Chait, founding rosh hayeshiva of Yeshiva Toras Chaim Toras Emes, closed the program.
There were more than 1,500 people in attendance including community members, parents, faculty and staff, as well as rabbis and dignitaries from the North Miami Beach Community and the greater South Florida Community.
