Is Rabbi Bechofer still the Rosh Yeshiva, of the IDT Bais Medrish?

The amenities are similar to IDT/Newark. IDT has in its building a Yeshiva, high school, bais medrash, shiurim, guests (including Rebbes, Rabbonim, and other dignitaries from E. Israel and America), minyanim, a (separate hours) pool, health/workout center, kosher cafe, kosher dining room (fleishigs), etc.

But yes, the 19 story building is for IDT and its affiliated companies (over 1,000 employees.)

It is not like IDT. IDT is owned by one co. and if you work for IDT then you work in the building. Here, in Il., you can be a small Business owner, like myself, and have a Chelek in the building.

Sounds like IDT in Newark.

If you are in another state, and there are enough people to fill up a building like this, it could be a great investment, besides the tremendous Lishmah element .

It is a great building. I have been working there for close to a year. I don’t think that there is anything like it in the world.
