EARLIER... JULY 2011...from The Detroit Free Press: Religious and community leaders have broken ground in Oak Park, Mich., on the Harry and Wanda Zekelman campus of the Lubavitch Yeshiva and Mesivta. The campus will serve up to 180 male high school and yeshiva students and, eventually, 180 boarding students. The facility will help the Lubavitch community, a Hasidic movement within Orthodox Judaism, continue to meet its educational and spiritual outreach goals. The buildings are being erected on a site of about four acres; they will replace the nearby original campus, which will continue to be home to the community's synagogue and elementary school.
