We are a developing Traditional Jewish Community.

We follow Orthodox Halacha and teachings, and are guided by several Orthodox Rabbis, both Hasidic & Modern Orthodox.

We offer a halachic conversion to Judaism. We study traditional Jewish texts such as Torah, Mishnah, Talmud, Midrash, Rabbinic Codes, & Kabbalistic literature.

We are NOT a Christian church.

We hold to the 13 principles of Rambam.

We are also open to everyone who hold Torah and Judaism true.

What is a Shtiebel?

A shtiebel (Yiddish: שטיבל shtibl, pl. shtiblekh or shtiebels, meaning "little house" or "little room" cognate with German Stübel) is a place used for communal Jewish prayer. In contrast to a formal synagogue, a shtiebel is far smaller and approached more casually.

It is typically as small as a room in a private home or a place of business which is set aside for the express purpose of prayer, or it may be as large as a small-sized synagogue. It may or may not offer the communal services of a synagogue.

Traditional shtiebels are not only a place for prayer, but also a place for community gathering. Due to the prominence of a Hasidic rebbe, the shtiebel served as a medium for being near to him. A shtiebel would be host to the Seudah Shlishit, the ritual third meal of the Sabbath. The shtiebel attracted newcomers through the inviting atmosphere it created by allowing prayer, eating, drinking, and community activities. Shtiebels were common in Jewish communities in Eastern Europe before the Holocaust.

The shtiebel was distinctly characteristic of Hasidic Judaism and played a central and critical role in the life of the Hasidim. It continues to exist in contemporary Israel and the United States.

The shtiebel was cost effective and assisted in the spread of Hasidism through a grassroots movement where individuals previously exposed to Hasidism could establish one in their local community. This characteristic of the shtiebel allowed for Hasidism to reach more communities on the local and regional level throughout the 18th and 19th Century.
