Popack Pledges to Rebuild Gym

Mr. Yosef Yitzchok Popack has again shown his commitment and dedication to the Crown Heights community.

On Thursday, Mr. Popack together with Reb Mendel Levin met with a delegation of Oholei Torah principals led by Rabbi Yosef Rosenfeld and Rabbi Sholom Rosenfeld. A group of Talmidim also welcomed Mr. Popack and shared with him a Dvar Torah.

After touring the facilities of the Eastern Parkway Campus, Mr. Popack concentrated on the recreation facilities, an area that is in desperate need of renovations. Mr. Popack who previously built the changing rooms and showers, greatly enhancing the swimming pool area, now has undertaken to renovate the gymnasium.

“Young children grow and have a great amount of energy, and this area is the best way to let out their energy in a most productive manner,” said Mr. Popack.

Rabbi Yehoshua Lustig, principal, mentioned that he has seen the difference in the students when they have a proper outlet during recess.

Plans are being drawn up, to make the gymnasium a state if the art facility, with a special focus on safety, which is just the latest project of renovations and expansions of the Oholei Torah building.

Yosef Yitzchok and Batsheva Popack are staunch supporters and dear friends of Oholei Torah. They have shown their support in many major building projects in the past few years, including the most recent dedication of the Popack Kindergarten building in east Flatbush.
