Over the past 34 hours, Bais Rivkah successfully raised over $1,360,000 thanks to the tremendous generous support of its devoted matchers and the loving contributions of countless Chasidim, friends and alumni across the globe.
The campaign united 2,641 givers for the opportunity to be truly unstoppable for the chinuch of today’s Jewish girls and young women. Funds will be used to alleviate some strain of tuition upon families, ensure timely teacher pay and improve management, communication and financial efficiency, while also providing a foundation to launch new initiatives such as advancing the PTA and uniting a community of alumni.
“It is with profoundest gratitude that I thank every single person who joined us today in fueling the momentum,” said Rabbi Moshe Pinson, Director of Development. “Your partnership will enable our school to continue forging ahead stronger than ever before, implementing new strategies for efficiency and growth.
“Education for girls was top priority for the Rebbe. He saw the Jewish woman as the foundation of the present and future of am yisrael, and Jewish children in particular as its guarantors,” shared Rabbi Yossi Baumgarten, Program coordinator. Today’s display of achdus among Chassidim for a cause so dear to the Rebbe’s heart showed in a very special way that the state of our school and our community is strong.”
When asked about his impression of the overwhelmingly positive response to the campaign, Rabbi Avrohom Shemtov, Chairman of Beth Rivkah, replied that he wasn’t surprised, yet was very gratified to see that people appreciate what Beth Rivkah represents. “Beth Rivkah was always and continues to be close to Rebbe! Participating in supporting its existence and growth, strengthens our connection to the Rebbe!”
The school also extends its gratitude to all those who made the campaign a success, specifically the matchers*, the Charidy team, Flow Motion Studios, Print House, Mendy Pellin and Sara Kupfer, COLLIVE, the amazing team of principals, the PTA, and all of the students of Beth Rivkah who united and encouraged friends and family to get involved.
And most of all a big thank you to all out 2,641 donors, we couldn’t have done it without you.
We look forward to your continued support, friendship and partnership.
Good Shabbos.

SARAH KUPFER DESERVES THE BIGGEST THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d love to know details of who ran it, every step of the way. It was done brilliantly. 100% of the success is due to this. Who is Flow Motion? Did they just film the video or did they run the entire campaign? It was seemless. Just perfect.
