The Lakewood Cheder has purchased a 30+ acre property in Jackson, TLS has learned.
With the Cheder continuing to grow by leaps and bounds, the school continues to add classes, with plans of larger expansions.
Bais Faiga, the girls school under the leadership of the Cheder, is also planning on opening a High School, sources said.
Both the Lakewood Cheder and Bais Faiga are the largest schools in Lakewood, both with thousands of children. After growing out of their old building on Madison Avenue approximately 10 years ago, the school moved to its current 90+ classroom building in the Industrial Park.
The new property in Jackson for Jackson children will be home to both girls and boys schools, instead of having to bus them to Lakewood.
So what, is living in lkwd are going to have to shlep to Jackson to pick up our kids? Or is this another location
Wow!
It’s incredible.
It’s the same people who keep stepping up time and time again to help Lakewood’s growing demand for schools.

Good job!!
To Inspired. I know plenty of children who were not accepted by the Lakewood Cheder. What do you mean its the same people stepping up time and time again? Plenty of other schools are easier to get into.
If they would accept everyone there would be thousands of kids in each grade is that what you want??
They are doing their best!
So nice. Which area in Jackson?
The Boys and Girls schools will be on the same property?
Many years ago in Baltimore this idea was considered. Reb Moshe was asked and he said it’s Assur to do so even if they’ll be on opposite ends of the property.
Well the Satmar Rav himself would have done so, until someone suggested that others might hear that he had them in the same campus and therefore allow a different school to be co-ed. See the book, The Satmar Rebbe and his High School Principal by Rabbi Hertz Frankel for more details.
Yossi not sure you realize that almost all the young people are moving to Jackson or TR. For us in Jackson it is a huge shlep to have to bring our children to a different city every day for schooling. It is time Jackson should be treated as its own city, just like boropark abnd flatbush are 2 cities. It should everything of its own because that is where 100s and 1000s of fams are moving!
anyhow by the time it’s built we’ll all be in Jeruselum
I so agree its really about time
My friend called the cheder to ask about their new school that opened this year and the future plans for it. She was told they plan on moving to Jackson in a few years (they are currently in the cheders building on vasser). One reason being that the young families that send to the new school are mostly from Jackson! And they imagine it will continue that way.
They need it
Can someone please explain me why there are so many negative comments?????
It’s a great thing what is happening, and end of story!!!
And maybe they will make four more wedding halls, and that will also be great.
will it be called the lakewood cheder school or will it be called the jackson cheder school?
^ WINNER OF BEST COMMENT DOV
Perhaps adding dormitory options would alleviate some of the neverending traffic congestion.
Jackson is tremendous. Where in Jackson is the property located?
Can someone share the location ?
Where is this property?
It seems that some people don’t understand that the Lakewood Cheder is not moving from Vassar Ave. To Jackson. This is a 2nd branch of the Lakewood Cheder, to be located in Jackson.
I hope that clarifies.
It’s all good news !
יגדיל תורה ויעדיר!
I know that some people not accepted were not of the same hashkafa of the Lakewood of yore.
eizehu chochom haroeh es hanolad , a brilliant move for many many reasons. all big chassidic rebbes have a team that thinks 10 years ahead and plans accordingly .. BH lakewood is doing the same
