WE ARE BUILDING FOR SHOLOM
THE LESSER KNOWN POSTVILLE VENTURE
Two decades ago, R’ Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin recognized an opportunity in Postville. It seemed like magic. Very far away from the tumults of city life, Postville would offer a serene and idyllic setting to stimulate the minds and nurture the souls of yeshiva students. In 1997, R’ Sholom Mordechai seized the opportunity and founded the Mesivta of Postville. He then passionately continued to pour his money, his heart and his soul into it. Since then, we have benefited hundreds of students from communities all over the United States and beyond.
Now also called Bais Sholom, the mesivta is led by world renowned Rosh Yeshiva, Hagaon HaRav Sholom Ber Gurkov, Shlita; a noted elder chossid and talmid chochom. Our magidei shiur and hanhala members care for every talmid, encouraging their personal success. We toil to develop within our talmidim a confidence and love for learning gemara and halacha as they are infused with the light and inspiration of chassidus. Our guiding principle is to “let our students’ dignity be precious to us, as if it were our own.”
Indeed, for our talmidim the serenity of Postville and the dedication of our hanhala serve as constant inspiration and they motivate them to grow in Torah, Yiras Shomayim and and healthy, fine character!
NOW WE NEED TO BUILD
We are expanding our capacity and opening our doors to double our current enrollment capacity. Additionally, we are making key renovations which will enable us to provide our current and future talmidim an enhanced material and academic experience.
Some 10,000 square feet will be transformed into two kitchens, a dining room, ten bedrooms in a new dormitory wing, classrooms and more. The projected total cost for the renovation and build out is $800,000.00 and the project is already underway.
BUILD FOR SHOLOM
R’ Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin remains imprisoned and away from home. The wound is still open and its’ resulting tragedy continues to be felt by the Jewish community at large. Mesivta of Postville is R’ Sholom Mordechai’s remaining legacy and pride in Postville. Surely this project will stand as a special merit for him in his present time of great need so that he too can break through the walls of his constraints!
The Mesivta of Postville is a gem among the broader family of yeshivos. Together we will make it shine brighter. Be a contributing partner; make a crucial and lasting impact for the yeshiva and send R’ Sholom Mordechai home.
