B’nai Avraham is a dynamic Orthodox synagogue with members from all backgrounds, led by well-known Chabad Rabbi and author Aaron L. Raskin. Experience our inspirational Shabbat services, holidays and events with our caring, connected and spiritual community. All are welcome.

Welcome to Congregation B’nai Avraham, the Orthodox synagogue in Brooklyn Heights. As the only Orthodox synagogue in the neighborhood, we serve a unique role in accommodating people with divergent religious backgrounds and at varying levels of observance.

Our goal is to increase the level of Jewish awareness, knowledge and observance by providing a warm, welcoming community with activities to appeal to people at all levels and with varying interests. We provide a daily morning and evening minyan and many weekly classes for adult learning. Our Mei Menacham Mikvah is perhaps the most beautiful mikvah in the City.

Our membership includes both Ashkenazim and Sephardim. Our spiritual leader, Rabbi Aaron L. Raskin, is a member of the Chabad movement, and during services most people use the RCA ArtScroll Siddur and the Stone Chumash, although other Siddurim and Chumashim are readily available.

Come to Saturday services and enjoy a sociable kiddush afterwards; stop by at one of our many classes; come to a Friday night dinner at one of our shabbatons, with singing and a guest speaker. Whether you are a yeshiva graduate, baal teshuvah, considering conversion or totally new to Judaism, you will find a comfortable place in our vibrant community.
