In recent days, the Satmar Kehillah, led by longtime executive director of the mosdos Reb Aaron Welz, closed on a massive property which will soon be the home of a magnificent high school for the Satmar girls school, Beis Rochel. 

The lot in question is known to many Boro Park residents as it sits in the center of Boro Park, at the corner of 18th Avenue and 53rd Street. The massive lot is currently used for parking school buses, and sits between 52nd and 53rd Street. Roughly about half the lot has been sold to the Satmar mosdos. 

The high school building project is expected to cost about $40 million, and will be yet another addition to Boro Park’s impressive landscape of mosdos haTorah.
