At a shul with three daily minyanim, regular farbrengens, shiurim, and Shabbos Kiddushim, where do women fit in? The women of Anshei Lubavitch Shul in Crown Heights can tell you. Full Story

In a shul where the men and the rabbi learn together, farbreng together and grow together.

A shul that’s grown on the study of Chassidus, especially its early-morning Chassidus shiur.

A shul with three daily minyanim, regular farbrengens, shiurim and Shabbos Kiddushim.

In a shul which was started by bochurim, who turned into husbands and are now fathers.

So where do the women fit in a shul like Anshei Lubavitch, built by men and seemingly geared for men?

Well, admiring what the men have, and seeing first-hand the power of a warm Chassidishe community, the women set out to create the same for themselves.

A community.

A place where the women have what to join, and feel that same sense of belonging and pride that their husbands have. A network of friendship and support—for each other, their families and their children. In both good times and challenging ones.

Where it’s not only the men running out to a shiur, but the women too. Where it’s not only the men who are excited to see their friends in shul, but when Yom Tov comes around, so are the women!

Ten years in the making, and we are stronger than ever. Anshei Lubavitch’s women have grown tremendously, in numbers and strength.

Growing with the needs of the community, we offer a diverse range of activities to participate in, offering everyone the opportunity to find something that speaks to them.

Rosh Chodesh lunch-and-learns.
Monthly social gatherings.
Yom Tov family events.
Shabbos and Yom Tov children’s programs.
After-school kids clubs.
Extra family support.
Postpartum dinner trains, breakfasts and a gift.
Annual women’s Shabbaton.
Melava malka.

And more…
