The New Building - Yeshiva Bachurim

The Zion Dov Ber Tor ah Fund fundraising efforts made possible the financing and opening of a new building at Yeshiva Meah Shearim. In 1973 the Yeshiva Bachurim was opened for older boys and married students. Below is the invitation to the Yeshiva Bachurim Opening Celebration Chanukas Habais. I was in Israel in August, 1976 and I attended the opening.

In 1976, with funds raised from Baba's organization, a new building was purchased for the Yeshiva. Below is the invitation (in hebrew) to the building opening. I was in Israel for the summer in 1976 and was able to attend the opening.
Baba's fund raising made this possible.

During my visit to the yeshiva in 2000 I visited Yeshiva Bochurim, as well as the main building. This yeshiva has older students, some married, and many from other countries. I took the following photo:
