Welcome
to the Park Slope Minyan, where we are committed
to engaged, lay-led, and egalitarian prayer, spirited
singing, and a tasty vegetarian potluck dinner together
after services. We believe that in the commitment
to sharing Friday night davening and dinner, we
are doing some of the best work toward building
an inclusive community. We are all ages, ethnicities,
sexual orientations, Jewish denominations, and of
course, geographic locales (i.e. we love non-Brooklynites
who trek to our gatherings).
A group of rabbinical
students and community members began the Minyan in
2001 with a vision of creating lay-led prayer and
Torah study for area Jewish residents whose needs
were going unmet by synagogue life. We outgrew our
previous venue at a local church and we now meet in
the chapel of a neighborhood synagogue.
Our services are just
what you'd expect from a Park Slope crowd: warm and
relaxed, friendly and welcoming. Check out the rest
of our web site to learn more about our programming,
and join us for a Friday night service soon. We'll
be saving you a place at the dinner table!
