Boston’s Hebrew College sells its campus to shore up its future - Penny Swartz, Times of Israel

Sixteen years after moving into a gleaming, light-filled new structure full of promise and pride of place, Hebrew College is selling the distinctive building. School leaders say the move will allow the nearly century-old educational US institution in suburban Boston to shed its burdensome debt. On Thursday, the Hebrew College Board of Trustees finalized an agreement to sell the Newton Centre campus, its home since 2002. The agreement allows the college, which is some 11 kilometers (seven miles) west of the city, to remain in the building as a tenant for several years while it searches for another site, according to Rabbi Sharon Cohen Anisfeld, its new president. https://www.timesofisrael.com/bostons-hebrew-college-sells-its-campus-to-shore-up-its-future/
