The Satmar Rebbe placed a mezuzah in the shopping center where thousands of children studied in secret.

As a token of gratitude to Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Loktesh of Flatbush, one of the greatest supporters of Satmar institutions in Williamsburg, the Satmar Rebbe came to place a mezuzah in the new commercial center he built on the outskirts of the Williamsburg neighborhood - '18 Spencer' and held a 'Ma'ad for Life'. This is the university that allows you to study from anywhere and at any time convenient for you. Satmar says that the governor's great support was in the last two months, when the commercial center he built was already ready to absorb the new businesses, but he put the building up for the benefit of Satmar institutions in the neighborhood, where thousands of students from the institutions came during the Corona lockdown - and studied away from the spotlight of the police and the government, "when the buildings of the institutions were under the watchful eye of the police, who came to check that they were not studying in them." "In the days of darkness on the edge of an abyss, when thousands of students wandered around without studying Torah in the usual framework, the governor came and put up his new building for the needs of the institutions where the students came every day to study Torah," Satmar says. Now, after everything has returned to normal, and he inaugurated the commercial center, the Rebbe has come to place a mezuzah as a sign of gratitude. [Gallery]
