his was not your ordinary
groundbreaking. Lubavitch
rabbis with long beards and
yeshivah students, both in black hats
and garb, danced with community
leaders July 10 as dirt was shoveled
symbolically at the site of the new
Harry and Wanda Zekelman campus
of the Lubavitch Yeshiva and Mesivta
in Oak Park.
The $3 million complex with its
two 25,000-square-foot buildings is
one of the largest private school con-
structions in the state, providing jobs
and expected to attract more students
from around the world.
The campus, to be completed in
fall 2012, was funded by Alan and
Lori Zekelman of Bloomfield Hills
in honor of his late parents, who
believed in the importance of Jewish
education.
The buildings, on about 4 acres at
15151 W. 10 Mile Road in Oak Park, will
replace the original campus on 9 Mile,
which still will house the community's
synagogue and elementary school.
The first new building will be dedi-
cated to classrooms and learning; the
second will be a dormitory. The campus
will serve up to 180 male high school
and yeshivah students and eventually
180 boarding students.

Rabbi Berel Shemtov, director of

Lubavitch of Michigan for more
than 50 years, is moved to tears as
he shares the original blessing from
the late Lubavitcher Rebbe at the

founding of the school in 1965.

Currently, students come from 10
countries and 17 states. About 75 per-
cent are boarders, including some from
Metro Detroit. LI
