Rabbi Pinchus Weinberger, Mara D’Asra of BTI, addressing the crowd
ais Tefila of Inwood (“BTI”) and the entire Inwood community marked another milestone with their seventhth Annual Dinner held at the Inwood Country Club last Sunday evening, March 20, 2016. The community, its friends and supporters from near and far all gathered to pay tribute to two distinguished honorees – Asher and Shana Halpert and Rabbi and Mrs. Simcha Lebowicz. Both of whom were chosen as representing the genuine values and Avodas HaKlal that embody what the community stands for. The dinner was a resounding success and all attendees left with
a profound sense of pride – and indeed amazement – at the incredible growth of the Inwood Kehila. The Shul utilized the evening as a time to realize the strides they took in their short history but were inspired to continue strengthening their drive to grow. Many would agree though that what makes BTI such a special makom Torah u’tefila is not just the sheer number of members but rather the incredible achdus, chesed, and limud HaTorah that has become so commonplace. Under the tutelage of their Mara D’Asra, Rav Pinchus Weinberger,
Shlita, the Shul has opened a community discretionary fund, a loan gemach, a flourishing N’shei, holds regular weekly and Shabbos shiurim, as well as hosting on occasion very choshuve scholars in residence for Shabbosim. The Inwood community as a whole continues to blossom as a community of choice for many families and it is no doubt this is due to the incredible accomplishments of Bais Tefila of Inwood.
