Our Story
A community within a community.
Representing a cross culture of Sephardic heritage, the Sephardic Kehillah is an integral part of BRS. We feature multiple daily and Shabbat minyanim, inspiring tefillot throughout the year, enriching shiurim, and authentic Sephardic celebrations (with much music and food, of course!).
Our members hail from all over the Sephardic and Edot ha-Mizrach map, including Morocco, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Teiman, Greece, Spain, and more. Join us in the Sephardic Beit Midrash to experience our "community within a community" — and feel free to reach out to Rabbi Shabtai with any questions.
We came for one Shabbat. Three years later, we can't imagine our life anywhere else.
