If you are on the board if a school make a dinner
If you are bored of life don’t harass us.
Devorah has helped more teachers of our schools than you will ever in your life.
Instead of Kvetching when people give Tzedokoh for a critical community cause, Kvetch at peoples overspending on luxury and entertainment that are the opposite of the beliefs of our schools.
have a nice day!
go to sleep and wake up on the right side!!!! what the heck does one have to do with the other. before you need money for tuition you need to have the child that needs the school. before you can have the child, for heavens sake, YOU HAVE TO GET MARRIED! and what if you don’t have the money for a wedding????? so maybe this is equally as important. and the schools should stop being so lazy and should organize these kinds of functions as well.
Devorah, it was a beautiful event. Kol Hakovod and continued Hatzlacha Rabba.
Rabbi Lew, your words touched our hearts. You were phenomenal.
mazel tov!! only simchas you look amazing!!!! love the daughter in sydney xoxo

Devorah will go out of her way to do a Mitzevah. Money or no money. Kol hakovod Devorah!
gorgeous dinner!!
i will tell you what the yeshiva told as when we did not have money to pay dont go to the country . dont send your children to camp. dont go restauranting . pay tuition mazal tov devorah the greatest
What a beautiful kavod – to Devora, who so deserves it. May we learn from her selfless acts!!
how are you do in? always busy with good things!!.shana tova
Not very sympathetic, hey?! … to the inyan of tuition difficulties.
Wedding financial difficulties – all financial difficulties – only somone who know how we put together ongoing tuition constantly – with constant and special effort – will object to your slightly flippant (and unsympathetic) attitude!
Sorry to disappoint you but Boro Park doesn’t have so much mixing of men and women.
We’ve long ago surpassed the BP tznius at dinners, wedding and everything inbetween.
By the time you’ve paid tuition for KA”H your kids, you won’t have anything left for weddings. Let’s see how you manage in 15 years time. I bet you’ll be crying to Devorah and will need her help. That’s what hundreds of hardworking Crown Heights families have had to do.
Mommy and Totty are very proud of you!!
….and whenever I meet Devora when in CH, she never misses an opportunity to raise much needed funds—always with a sweet request, mesiras nefesh, and gentle smile.!!! Her devotion and dedication is truly over the top—for without her how many simachas just wouldn’t have happened! May Hashem bless you Devora for all the good you continually do!!
you are a very special women, hashem should bless you begashmius uberuchnius !
lower tuition go fundraise more!! families only start because of jewish weddings!
From your Aussie mates in OZ.
Devorah Benjamin
Thanking for allowing us to fully enjoy the simchas of our children while you hassled with the nitty gritty
Go Dovid !
U have amazing talent !!
Without you my wedding would not have been!
This is great mitzvah and there is nothing wrong with helping them out
But people need to understand that our schools come first
Why dont we have dinners for our locals schools? why dont we have the entire community to come together and support our schools?
Support your local school and pay full tuition before giving a penny to any other organization – our teachers need to get paid and our children need teachers who can focus on the work and their students and now how they will feed their children!
Crown Heights is fortunate to have Mrs. Benjamin as a part of the community, she is a real Tzadeikes!
Lovely evening and Rabbis Brennan and Lew spoke really well!
u look amazing
Why aren’t there pictures of the president who gives so much of his time?
Tizku L’mitzvos

Next year is the 20th KSCVK anniversary. I hope there will be another fantastic event to celebrate that milestone!

We send our love to you Devorah ! kol Hakovoid . keep up the great work you do.! Hashem should bless you with all revealed good!
A very well deserved honor, the true honor will only be given in Olam Habo with Moshiach Now, Amain!!!
