by COLlive Editor · COLliveWith just seven days to go until Bais Rivkah celebrates 85 years of the Rebbe’s school, preparations are well underway, and the excitement is building throughout the Bais Rivkah family.
From classrooms to hallways, there is a growing sense of anticipation as students, teachers, alumnae, and families prepare to mark this special milestone – celebrating the past, present, and future of an institution that has shaped generations of Jewish women.
For 85 years, Bais Rivkah has carried forward the Rebbe’s vision for Jewish girls’ education, instilling a strong identity as Chassidim of the Rebbe and creating bonds that last long after graduation. As alumnae reflect on their experiences, their words offer a glimpse into the lasting impact of a Bais Rivkah education.
“It didn’t matter what your personal standards or struggles were, each of us was given a strong identity as a proud chossid.”
“I gained a deep appreciation of being a Chossid of the Rebbe from both my teachers who acted as role models and what they taught.”
“I’ve gained so much from my years as a student at Bais Rivkah, as have my daughters. I’ve made wonderful lifelong friends, and my 1978 high school graduating class of 30+ girls still shares a special bond, staying in touch daily on WhatsApp! Best of all, I taught kindergarten for many years and have the fondest memories of my students!”
“Something so unique to me was what a big deal יומא דפגרא were. Everyone wanted to be part of it because it was just fun, even if you wouldn’t typically find חסידישע ימים טובים that exciting, in Bais Rivkah it was the most exciting thing to be a part of.”
These memories reflect a legacy that extends far beyond the classroom. Carried forward by generations of students, teachers, and families, and one that continues to shape the future.
The countdown is on, and the excitement is in the air. Just seven days until 85!
