In the winter of 2012, in the basement of a “Chabad House” in Crown Heights. A group of friends started a small Friday night minyan. The idea was to create an accepting environment where they could meet up, pray, be themselves and connect with friends after the long work week. 

As word spread of the minyan’s unique atmosphere, demand for more grew. Today the Minyan which started in the basement of a “Chabad House” boasts a full Shabbos minyan, weekly shiurim, and packed social events.  

Despite the tremendous growth, the Shul has always remained true to its founding principles as a welcoming, non-judgmental oasis where everyone feels at home and is given the space and respect to connect to the divine at his or her own speed.

In mid-2016, Rabbi Yanky Raskin, a well-known educator, came on board as the Shul’s spiritual leader, bringing his unique approach to Chassidism and focus on spiritual growth through personal development to the Shul. Rabbi Raskin instantly “clicked” with the community, and has quickly had great impact on its members and their families.

In the beginning of Janruary 2019 the Shul relocated to its own beautiful 2,000 SQF center in the famed Brooklyn “Yellow building”.The first floor houses the sanctuary with a large men and women's section. A lounge dedicated in memory of Dovid Ciment OB"M a founding member of the shul, is located on the lower level with a kitchen, and space for a kid's program.
