and to the Yeshiva playground and
the city park on the remaining sides.
The building is specially suited
for young children. Each classroom
includes a pint-sized sink for wash-
ing off mud and finger paint. A
nook in the corner holds a miniature
computer table.
No project of this sort gets done
without volunteers, and one of the most
enthusiastic volunteers at the Meer

Center is Chayala Levitz of Southfield.
The mother of two Yeshiva students,
