New Kollel (Lakewood) in Memory of Mrs. Lifshe Hefter, ob”m

Leave a Comment

As I’m sure most of you know, a few months ago my grandmother, Mrs. Lifshe Hefter passed away. As a visionary teacher she touched the lives of her thousand plus students in her own imitable way through song and dance. To honor her and pay tribute to her legacy, I am opening a night kollel, Shiras Lifshe, in Lakewood as a way of perpetuating her memory. The kollel will be geared towards newly married men (within a few years) who are now started to go back to night Seder and will benefit from this added push. Will you be willing to partner in this great opportunity of honoring this legendary woman?
You can send any (monthly) pledges, questions, or comments to shiraslifshe@gmail.com

I thank you in advance,

Tzvi Menachem Hefter
