About Chabad of Brooklyn Heights
Chabad Lubavitch of Brooklyn Heights is housed in Congregation Bnai Avraham. It is a community based organization servicing the needs of the Jewish populations of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and Downtown Brooklyn, by providing prayer services, holiday programs and events, as well as support and assistance to all, regardless of affiliation or background. Our aim is to encourage and enhance Jewish awareness, knowledge and observance by building a warm, welcoming community with activities appealing to both members and non-members. CBA is the only synagogue in the area that provides daily Shacharit and Maariv services, as well as daily classes on every possible subject for men and women alike, from Talmud to Kabbalah. We provide services and programming for singles, families and seniors. Moreover, we are the area's only synagogue with a luxurious women's state-of-the-art Mei Menachem Community Mikvah on the premises. Our doors are open to all Jews, and every member of the synagogue is truly a part of the Chabad family.
