The Project

A permanent home, finally.

The story behind Beit Shvidler Cheder Chabad — where we came from, where we're going, and why this building matters.

Our story

Built by our community, for our children.

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 vision

More than a building.

The new Beit Shvidler isn't just a cheder. It's a complete vision for what our community needs:

  • Expanded classrooms — designed for real chinuch, with proper acoustics, light, and breathing room.
  • A dedicated event hall — vaulted arches, natural light, our community's home for simchas.
  • Library & study halls — quiet spaces for serious learning at every age.
  • A real shul — designed for tefillah, with room for the community.
  • Outdoor space — flat, accessible, ready for play and gatherings.

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.
