far from typical...but yet, feels right a home
Notice and Warning
Sivan 5776
This matter has already been ruled by the rov and mara d’asra of Crown Heights, Harav Zalman Shimon Dvorkin a”h, in a clear psak from Kislev 5739, along with other poskim of America and Canada, prominent among them Harav Moshe Feinstein a”h, that is forbidden and not possible to set up an eruv in this city according to halacha.
[Harav] Avraham Osdoba [Harav] Shlomo Yehuda Halevi Segal
Recently, it has been publicized by some unscrupulous individuals that an eruv had been constructed by reliable people. We are hereby notifying the public that after investigating the matter we have found that there is no basis to their words, and all the rabbonim and eruv builders whose names had been publicized all testified that they did not participate in this act of chilul Shabbos.
eclectic, fun, and an amazing kiddush...
Anyone who does anything in this matter is acting against halacha, against the explicit opinion of the Rebbe, and against the psak of the local rabbonim, and he knowingly causes anyone who does carry in the public domain to be a Mechalel Shabbos B’Farhesia, R”L.
Not your typical orthodox synagogue at all. Prayers are traditional, in Hebrew, with men and women seated separately - but all that only adds to the wonderful feeling that you're developing a real connection with God. Come as you are - if your'e Jewish, you belong.
To all residents and guests of Crown Heights,
A wonderful synagogue with a small but growing congregation of open minded, spiritually inclined people and a young rabbi who is a wellspring of wisdom as well as a great guy.
Signed,
In this community there is no kosher eruv. It is therefore forbidden for anyone to carry outdoors, both on Shabbos and Yom Kippur as the Torah instructs.
We are certain that no Rov from any other city will not touch our domain (as explained in Shailos U’Teshuvos Igros Moshe 2 siman 39), and will not aid an act against the Torah, and against the psak of the rabbonim of the community.
