Captured Moment: Tiferes Israel Anshei Sfard

YS GOLD 

This week’s Captured Moment takes us to the outskirts of Boro Park—to a shul named Tiferes Israel Anshei Sfard, one of the first nusach sephard shtieblach in Boro Park. In fact, one of Boro Park’s longest-serving Rabbonim began his rabbinic career in this little shul. 

Can any of our readers pinpoint the location? 

___ 

Answer to last week’s captured moment: 

As a number of our readers correctly identified, the gas station in question was the one located on the corner of 16th Avenue and 46th Street. The station is remembered by those of a certain age, and as one of our readers pointed out, it was once owned by Reb Norman Antzis, a musmach of Telz and an oheiv Torah umokir Rabbanan. Today, Santander Bank stands at this corner, with offices built atop the building.
