Associated Beth Rivkah Schools is launching its very first crowdfunding campaign, with the aim of fundraising one million dollars in under 24 hours.
A group of donors have agreed to match all funds received at a four to one ratio; every dollar donated will be quadrupled, granted that the campaign goal is met by Friday at 12 noon EST.

The campaign’s matchers include Mr. Shaya Boymelgreen, Rabbi Yitzchak Raitport, Mr. Joseph Kazarnovsky, Mr. Zalman Fellig, Mr. Yerachmeal Jacobson, Mr. Jacob Laine, Mr. Jaim Lapidus, and Mr. Shmuel Kopfstien.
Beth Rivkah was founded in 1941 by the Frierdiker Rebbe. At the time, Jewish day schools in America catered exclusively to boys, so starting a day school for Jewish girls was truly revolutionary.
From the onset of the school’s founding, the Lubavitcher Rebbe has given special attention to Beth Rivkah in all of its aspects; from the small details of the curriculum, to the treatment of every student as an individual.
One of the policies instituted by the Rebbe was that no student would ever be denied a Jewish education due to their family’s background or inability to pay tuition. This has always presented a challenge to those responsible for covering the operating budget, which exceeds $14 million dollars annually.
All funds raised in the campaign will be used directly for paying teachers’ salaries. Distribution of funds will be overseen by the school’s new board-in-formation, which includes Rabbi Eliezer Shemtov, Rabbi Moshe Pinson, Mr. Yerachmeal Jacobson, Mr. Kasriel Shemtov, Mr. Dovid Sputz, Mr. Dovid Junik, and Mr. Itchik Orimland.
Anyone know how far we got yet?
Ought to be donating. All of them.
This campaign for our teachers could have not happened if it were not for the leadership and vision of the new Bais Rivkah Board. They are a breath of fresh air and are passionately committed to positive change, institutional transparency and communal accountability. May they be granted tremendous bracha and mazal as they fulfill the Rebbe’s vision for the school. The future at Bais Rivkah is getting brighter by the day.

Hi everyone, As a student in Bais Rivkah, I experienced and continue to experience the amazing dedication of all the teachers and staff of our school. One may think that because it is such a big school, chances are the students don’t get the attention they deserve. However, speaking from experiece and first hand account, that is not the case. The staff really connect to every single student and help them become who they are today. As a senior in Bais Rivkah, I learned and gained so much from our school! From the learning, to all the extra curricular activities… Read more »
So that our children’s teachers get paid!
