From Crain’s Business Magazine:
When he was a 19-year-old rabbinical seminary student, Ira Zlotowitz founded a program designed to motivate sixth and seventh graders to work harder at their Hebrew studies.
He created a raffle system that awarded prizes ranging from pizzas to bicycles to reward children for hitting the books. The program, Masmid Govoha, has spread to about 30 cities.
Today, Mr. Zlotowitz applies similar tricks to his business, Eastern Union Funding, a Brooklyn-based commercial mortgage brokerage….
“I attribute most of my success in the business world to the merits of starting and funding Masmid Govoha,” Mr. Zlotowitz says.
Did Ira Zlotowitz start this?
Ira did start.
I remember when Ira started this. B”H, it has had a lot of hatzlocha, & he has also had personal hatzlocha. Halevay vayter!!
This is a great program.
I am in chinuch and hear the Rebbeim and the Menahel talking about it, and only hear good things. The guys who run it do it very ‘low key’ and seem to be ‘in it’ for the kids, with no personal agenda.
