The gallery on the maariv side of Bais Medrash Hagadol, which in recent years had been opened up temporarily on Yomim Tovim by pulling back the windows, is now being made a permanent part of the Bais Medrash.

Construction has begun to remove the dividing wall and install new drop ceilings, creating a seamless connection between the gallery and the main Bais Medrash. The construction comes in preparation for the upcoming Yomim Tovim, to enhance the atmosphere of the tefillos for all mispallelim.
