Captured Moment: Selling Seforim on a Boro Park Street

Captured Moment: Selling Seforim on a Boro Park Street

by YS Gold 

It was circa 1990, and a Yid was sitting in front of a Boro Park home, seeking to place the sefer Sifsei Avrohom into the hands of passersby.

Can anyone locate this home in the center of Boro Park?

Answer to last week’s Captured Moment: 

The school and catering hall in question is the Satmar Girls School on 14th Avenue and 53rd Street, and the legendary catering hall in the basement is Ateres Chaya. This site has been a public school for more than one hundred years even before it was taken over by this institution, back when Boro Park was called Blythebourne.
