This evening is being sponsored by Reva and Harvey Gertel in memory of Leah Zlate Levovitz, Reva’s paternal grandmother. Rebbetzin Levovitz was the founder of the Bais Yaacov of East New York in Brooklyn. She established this school for girls in the early part of the 20th century. Rebbetzin Levovitz dedicated much of her life to perpetuating this academic institution which educated young women in both Limudei Kodesh and secular studies.
