| Yeshiva in Manhattan's Business District | | |
Last night, a benefit dinner was held for a new yeshiva that opened last year in Manhattan's business district, home of the former Twin Towers. The purpose of the yeshiva is to provide a place for boys who have not been successful in traditional yeshivos, to teach them a trade while still enveloping them in a nurturing yeshiva environment.
The yeshiva was founded by the brothers Mendy and Shmuly Chanin. Shmuly is the president of the successful BPS corporation, which works in a Zevulun-Yissachar partnership together with Rabbi Shmaya Katz, shliach in Wall St. There are currently 10 boys studying in the yeshiva, learning a trade while attending daily shiurim and joining a minyan for Shacharis and Mincha.
Last Thursday, the yeshiva held a benefit dinner on a yacht floating around Manhattan Island. Over 150 people participated, including businessmen, friends of the yeshiva, parents, and staff.
