Three years ago, Nivei Shaanon became the first nusach Sefard shul in the James/White St. area when it opened its doors to provide a Heimishe Bais Hamedresh to a developing neighborhood.
The shul exists to provide a makom Torah and tefilla that will be central to the lives of its mispallelim and envelope them in warmth. From teffilos to shiurim, kiddeishim to shalosh seudos, avos u'banim and Friday night shiros v'sishbachos, the shul is a place where people of all different types from different backgrounds can feel at home, a shul where all are welcome and a shul where every child feels special.
You can always expect a warm smile and a good word from our rov, Harav Shimon Kurtz Shlit"a, who is always available to anyone, to answer a shaila, to discuss an issue, or to provide a dose of chizzuk.
It is time for us to move into our new home, a beautiful Bais Hamedrash with expanded facilities including a large fully stocked Otzar Haseforim, and an expansive Ezras Nashim, which will allow us to meet the needs of the kehilla, and become, as its name implies, a true "abode of serenity".
Our new building will also house the first mikvah in the neighborhood, both a men's mikvah and a women's mikvah, bringing kedushah and tahara to our community.
