The Rebbe's Advice #1017 - Renting Public Facility for Jewish Activities

In memory of Rabbi Gavriel & Rebbetzin Rivkah Holtzberg HYD - Shluchim to Mumbai, India*

I don’t understand why you’d rent a public un-used school building for your activities. Although they say it’ll be unoccupied for a while, yet, when they’ll have enough registration they’ll need their building and send you away. Even if you have a contract, they’ll find a way of dissolving the contract and get you out. If this concern doesn’t exist then renting this facility is a good option.
