The story behind Beit Shvidler Cheder Chabad — where we came from, where we're going, and why this building matters.
Beit Shvidler Cheder Chabad started where every cheder starts — in a borrowed space, with a small group of families who believed our boys deserved an authentic Chabad chinuch close to home. [NEEDS: founding year and story]
Over the years, we've grown. New families joined our community. Boys grew up, davened, learned, and brought their younger brothers in. We added classrooms wherever we could — but the building never grew with us.
Today, we've finally taken the next step: 228 New Hempstead Road. A permanent home, built for our boys, dedicated to our community's vision of chinuch.
The new Beit Shvidler isn't just a cheder. It's a complete vision for what our community needs:
228 New Hempstead Road. The first major commitment.
Architectural plans finalized. Variances and permits in process.
Beit Shvidler Hall opens — our community simcha space, generating revenue toward construction.
Groundbreaking on classrooms, library, and shul building. [NEEDS: confirm timing]
Permanent home opens. First class learns in our new walls.
Total project budget is approximately $6 million. Here's how it breaks down: [NEEDS: real budget numbers]
We're 42% of the way there. The land is ours. The plans are drawn. Phase 1 is open and generating revenue. The only thing between us and a permanent home is the next pledge, and the one after that.
Every partner — whether your contribution is a one-time gift or a 24-month commitment — moves us closer. Your name will be part of this for the children who learn here for generations.
