Baltimore, MD - Mar. 9, 2026 - More than 1,000 men, women, and children gathered on Sunday, March 8, on Torah Institute's campus for a historic groundbreaking celebration marking the start of construction on the Cheder’s new 70,000-square-foot building.
Dozens of Rabbonim and community leaders joined the event and offered words of bracha and encouragement. Divrei Bracha were delivered by HaRav Nosson Nussbaum, Yoshev Rosh of the Cheder’s Vaad HaChinuch, Menahel Rabbi Shimon Hirsch, CEO Rabbi Raphael Schochet, HaRav Yosef Berger, Rabbi Baruch Neuberger, and R’ Gil Horowitz, Chairman of the Building Committee.
The inspiring program featured spirited singing and dancing, highlighted by a beautiful choir of the Cheder's Talmidim led by first-grade Rebbe, Rabbi Yaakov Horowitz. Children enjoyed special activities inside the building, and attendees were treated to refreshments. Pekalach were distributed to the children, and mementos were given to participants to mark the special occasion.
The new 70,000-square-foot facility will help accommodate the Cheder’s tremendous growth over the past several years and into the future.
Thank you to the building committee, and to all of the donors so far, for their incredible generosity!
