Agreement buys Jewish boys' school more time

The Twin Cities' only Jewish boys' school signed an agreement Friday with the Minnesota Baptist Conference, the group that owns the Yeshiva school’s Indahl Avenue building. It gives the school until May 15 to raise the money needed to purchase the campus outright.
The school had raced to meet a Feb. 1 fundraising deadline of $660,000, falling well short despite an outpouring of support from large donors and area residents.
$525,000 still remains to be raised to complete the building’s purchase and stave off foreclosure.
Yeshiva staff and students will now launch a renewed fundraising effort, said Rabbi Moshe Weiss, the school’s director of development.
