Mispallelim of the Airmont Shul in Airmont, NY, gathered yesterday for a special celebration of the hanochas even hapinah of the new bais medrash for the shul. The bais medrash is being constructed on the property of the rosh hakahal, R' Lipa Schmelczer, who founded the shul a year and a half ago for the growing frum neighborhood.
Airmont is a village in the town of Ramapo in Rockland County and includes the hamlets of Tallman, Airmont and South Monsey. In recent years, with rising housing prices in Monsey proper, a large number of Yidden have chosen to purchase homes in the Airmont/South Monsey area.
Yesterday's event began with the recital of Tehillim, followed by remarks by R' Michoel Schnitzler and Lipa, and then the groundbreaking ceremony.
The expansion of R' Lipa Schmelczer's shul, and now the construction of what will be a beautiful and spacious mikdash me'at at 16 Murray Drive, are part of the overall development of this nascent Yiddishe enclave.
