Power Remains Down in Building on South 8th Since Last Night’s Blackout

By Yisroel R.

Power remains out in the building housing Beis Medrash Lev Aharon on South 8th Street, following a blackout caused by last night’s winter storm.

The outage began during last night’s snowy and winter weather and continues to impact the power inside the Beis Medrash. Volunteers from Chaveirim responded overnight and provided temporary lighting and electrical assistance to help keep the building operational.

The New York City Emergency Management Department is on scene monitoring the situation and coordinating response efforts as the outage persists.

Con Edison has arrived at the location, with an estimation time of restoration time for 11:30am. Chaveirim and askanim remain on site as conditions continue to be monitored.
