No mikvah, no chassidishe place, no normal shul. not even a rov (expcept RSZP from across town, maybe). So that would have been legit.<BR/><BR/>The number I have heard is $5M, not 2.5. He supposedly has plans to open a wedding hall for the community, which is sorely needed. Especially one that can be used for bar mitzvahs and not cost a small fortune.

And when he saw this huge monster of a building going up right next to 2 operating shuls and within a 1 minute walk from 5-10 other operating shuls and a men's mikve, began to question the need for him to continue donating for such a building that is in doubt as to who and how many will use it. I was told that he was very upset because he was sold the idea as being a very important structure in a new neighborhood sorely lacking in these facilities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
