They sponsored the new building, named for the late Lazar and Lakie Stein, and Norman Kramer. Anita Kramer was there with them. So were the Steins’ granddaughters Saralle Bronstein and Clara Stein, who are pupils at Torah Academy.
Rabbi Levi Lipskar, director of growth and development at Torah Academy, said it was an important milestone for the entire school.
His father, Rabbi Mendel Lipskar, head of the Lubavitch Foundation of SA and chairperson of the education committee said because of the Steins’ generosity, the newly built administration block served as the springboard for more children to enter its system.
Comparing this event to commemorating the building of the mishkan in the desert, Lipskar said: “What can be more important than building a house for G-d? However, a precedent to building a mishkan is a place for educators and study.”
Rabbi Dovid Hazdan, the dean of Torah Academy; Rabbi Alex Carlebach and Rabbi Michael Katz all paid tribute to the Steins’ benevolence.
