Captured Moment: The Shul Courtyard

YS GOLD 

This week’s captured moment takes us to the center of Boro Park where we find a simple home in the 1940’s. But if we look a little closer, we see a grand shul peeking out over its courtyard. The landscape hasn’t changed an iota in the 80 ensuing years. 

Can any of our readers identify the shul in question?

Answer to last week’s captured moment: 

The hachnosas sefer Torah in question is—as a very knowledgeable reader pointed out—opposite Congregation Anshei Lubavitch. 

The rov at the center is Rav Yitzchok Raitport, shlit”a, and he is surrounded by members of the shul. 

Here we can see the home which they stood in front of, located at the opposite corner of 12th Avenue.
