One hundred and fifty thousand dollars, in cash and pledges, were raised at the annual dinner of the Herzliah Hebrew Teachers Institute held tonight at the Hotel Pierre, for the building of a new dormitory to house out-of-town students from Latin American countries. The new building will be known as the Jacob and Libby Goodman Dormitory. Mr. Jacob Goodman contributed $50,000 to the Institute towards the purchase of the new building.
