At 10:00 pm Thursday, Board members and student volunteers at Bais Rivkah school in Crown Heights celebrated reaching their fundraising goal of $1.3 million.
Despite the inclement weather, dozens of students gathered at the campaign headquarters throughout the day to make calls to help raise the funds before the fundraiser was over.
The campaign was coordinated by the school’s new Director of Development, Rabbi Moshe Pinson, assisted by Rabbi Yossi Baumgarten.
The original goal of $1.3 million was met before the campaign was over, so a bonus round was started, with a new goal of $1,360,00, which was also surpassed by the campaign’s end.
In total, $1,362,905 was raised from 2,641 donors.

So proud of our dear grandson Yisrol Yosef Yitzchak. With his winning smile and good-natured character, he will always be a winner.

Dear members of our community,
Let us not forget to mention the tireless efforts and commitment of our administrator Benjy Stock to Bais Rivkah. He has kept it running with so much warmth and spirit. Bais Rivkah would not be the same without “Benjy” at the helm. I wish him a big Mazal Tov on his 60th birthday( whose date we share). May he continue to head our school for many more years.
Positivity is everything!

Takeaways: There is nothing that cannot be accomplished when there is achdus by chasidim! There is nothing that cannot be accomplished when you do something lesheim shomayim! There is no school like Beth Rivkah! There are no students like Beth Rivkah’s! There are no principals and teachers like Beth Rivkah’s! There is no greater privilege than working to help Beth Rivkah! Many thought that the overwhelmingly positive response to the first charidy campaign was a fluke. It was proven to be turning point: the zechus and acharayus of supporting Beth Rivkah is nachalas haklal. EVERYONE can and should help. New… Read more »
