Reply To: please help me find a minyan in flatbush

yungerman – I know that most shuls don’t have a minyan at that time, but that’s the time I needed and yes, I went there on Monday – but I didn’t like it.

also, it is walking distance – i walked there in about 20-30 minutes after finishing my history final.

itchesrulik: i know that there is a minyan in hillel at 1:45, but the rav said that there wouldn’t be a minyan during finals weeks unless it was arranged (for obvious reasons).

therefore, i have not been inside hillel during finals week and don’t know whether there was or will be any minyan. however, we do have menorah lighting there wednesday and thursday.

Today, I davened in the shul at the end of 17th Street and J on the right side, and it was awesome. Their davening is very enjoyable, maybe b/c the chazzan works in the shul and does not have to run out to be back at work, so he’s not rushing, etc, etc. (he even puts on a tallit for mincha and lights candles!!)

there is also the yeshiva of flatbush on 16th street and avenue j. Having said all this, I don’t feel comfortable walking into a yeshiva unless I specifically know where and when the minyan is, b/c I’m a BT and don’t “fit in.”
