The goal of the fledgling yeshiva was to inculcate in the talmidim a love for Torah embedded in middos tovos and also supply more “manpower” to the world of chinuch across America and beyond. Fortuitously, Rabbi Turk reached out to his cousin, Mr. Irving Langer, a young real-estate manager and developer, to gain some insight into the Brooklyn market. Mr. and Mrs. Langer were no strangers to building ventures such as this. Embracing their role as leaders and supporters of the Five Towns community since moving there, the Langers were instrumental in building Rabbi Kalish’s shul and the TAG high-school building and were pivotal in Darchei and numerous other community initiatives and institutions. Mr. Langer saw this as a “buying opportunity” and jumped in to be that person to make this dream a reality.
