Yasher koach. If you care about this, give him a thank you.

May 5, 2014 9:26 pm

It is a private library of an organization, namely aguch. As opposed to a public library owned by the govt.
It is not private meaning not owned by an individual.

sale prices are published online

Either way, for such a house that is a bargain. Glad 770 got it.

Rabbi Shalom Levine and Rabbi Zalman Levine and Rabbi Efraim Keller are doing a amazing job for the library it is alway a pleasure to go there for a visit . Keep on your shlichus and your hard work

HOW MUCH WAS IT BOUGHT FOR?
May 5, 2014 7:19 pm

Does anyone know hard numbers what 770 bought it for?

Rabbi Krinsky
May 5, 2014 7:13 pm

Deserves a lot of credit for this it is something the Rebbe would be very happy with ( Though not with the high price ) but if we believe the sefarim are coming back then we need the space.
