Experience the present and future of South Florida’s Jewish girls in a spirited tour with Rabbi Korf and the staff and students of Lubavitch Educational Center
When your institution is one of the largest Jewish schools in the US, you’re going to need multiple campuses to house all the students.
Lubavitch Educational Center of Miami has four, with another currently under renovation. But with over 2,300 students enrolled from early childhood through Yeshiva Gedolah, and over 400 staff members to lead them, even these five aren’t enough.
“We’re bursting at the seams,” says Head of School Rabbi Benjy Korf. “Every classroom is full, every office is being shared, every dorm room is taken.” The school that opened with just seven students in 1967 at the direction of the Rebbe has experienced unprecedented growth in the past few years. Even so, says Rabbi Korf, “We can’t turn away a child seeking a Jewish education due to lack of space.”
That’s why the school purchased the $15 million property adjacent to Campus Chaya Mushka, which houses the girls’ Elementary, Middle and High Schools. The additional 4.5 acres, with its four 1-story buildings, will bring the campus to a total of 7 acres. Two of the four buildings on site have already been generously sponsored by Mr. & Mrs. Mendel & Reut Pinson, and Mr. & Mrs. Avi & Brochie Shaulson—the latter pledging their sponsorship on the spot at LEC’s Gala Dinner last week.
Join Rabbi Korf and a cast of vivacious LEC staff and students on a spirited tour of the current and future homes of our girls schools and see for yourself: the future of South Florida’s Jewish children remains brighter than ever!
