With just one day to go to the first wedding, Ateres Esther, one of the two new halls in Lakewood, has been completed.
The hall features separate men’s and women’s lobbies, a Shul, built-in speakers systems, a generator and much more.
As reported earlier, the new halls will be hiring chefs, photographers, singers and musicians, and will charge only $13,000 for the entire package, which can translate into savings of thousands of dollars for the average family.
Here are some pictures of the completed hall.
Wow, the zechusim of such an endeavor! I am blown away and envious of such zechusim. A huge Yasher Koach to all those who spent countless hours making this happen instead of amassing more wealth.
The rich get richer when they use their monies for projects like these (and on their families buying expensive stuff for YomTov etc… like it says in Halacha).
Sorry for that rant.
Please be mindful of the fact that we are one Klal yisroel and this helps everyone! (to all those with bitterness in their mouth it’s from constantly eating onions. Cut it out with your mindless comments.)

I love Meyers comment. could not have said it better. I second every word of that
wow! mi k’amcha yisroel! thank you!
Wow, it’s beautiful.
It’s much nicer and much larger than those show-off halls: Marina Del Ray, Terrace on The Park etc etc which cost over 10 times that amount and cost everyone hours of traffic to get to.
Whomever made this. It’s a big mitzvah.
How do you reserve the hall.

Mazel tov. Beautiful. May everyone share only simcha with menushas hanefesh.
Thank you for making separate
Lobbies and entrances for men and for woman. Lakewood deserves the best in ruchniyus as well.
Thank you to everyone involved. Ignore all the negative comments. This initiative will save thousands of dollars and lower the standards in so many areas and have a continued ripple effect.
Keep it up.
I do not see any negative comments.
It’s a healthy option for those who want to go this way. Cheap halls have been around for 50 years.
But keep in mind that everyone has the right to make whatever type of wedding they want without being put on a guilt trip for it.
Lavish or simple.
Long Time Shadchan
As long as the person making the lavish wedding is not being מתגאה which the גמרא equates with idol worship!
So you , Mr Haughty, will have the honor to make sure he is not being מתגאה.
Takes one to know one.. right ?
As long as he’s paying his bills.
Wow! What are the income/vocational requirements for utilizing this hall?
