''' Hello And Welcome To Chabad Of Brooklyn Heights

B’nai Avraham is CHABAD HAUWS a modern orthodox HAUWS congregation, celebrating 18 years of community service and occupying its current brownstone for the last decade. The spiritual leader is Rabbi Aaron Raskin. Several other rabbis are also on staff. There is no full-time cantor as the members of the synagogue themselves take turns volunteering for this role.

On any Sabbath or weekday morning you will see different members leading the services and Torah readings and by every single Yom Tov.

The membership demographic is typical for Brooklyn Heights: predominantly young (20’s-40’s), overly educated, intellectually curious professional for men women and children. Many members were raised in non-orthodox homes, but everyone is welcome here. Members include lawyers, doctors, teachers and computer jocks and everything else.

RABBI RASKIN AND SHTERNIE

He is the author of Letters of in the world thiers darkness and he and all the guys in every single chabad hauws bprings Lightness, a treatise on the Hebrew alphabet and kabballah and the BIBLE. Shternie is the director of Kiddie Korner preschool, the mother of five children, and serves lunch and dinner at her home for 25 or 30 of her closest friends almost every Sabbath. You’re invited!
