    Hi. I’m a new divorcee with teenage sons and I’m looking for a friendly and non judgmental Shul where there’s serious Davening, and the socializing and talking are left for afterward. it should be in the area of the East 30’s from Ave L through Ave P, thank you.

    You probably should give an idea of your hashgafa, If you are more modern I doubt you would want to go to a Satmar Shteibel and if you are Satmar I doubt you would want to go a Young Israel

    We are pretty yeshivish but have davened in Shuls that had a mix, like out of town. Don’t want a Shul where women don’t dress with Tznius, etc.// not judging, just concerned for my sons and would be more comfortable showing them the type of hashkafa which is important for us.

    Go daven in different shuls until you find one that is good for you and your sons. Done that’s it. That’s how most people do it. Putting names of shuls here can become a situation. I would not recommend it.

    Yeshiva Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin Alumni Minyan

    Ave L between Nostrand and 31

    Started by YRCB alumni, and has become a large Shul with a lot of non-alumni as well. Every time I have been there (which has been many), I have only met nice, friendly people who take Davening and Torah seriously.

    Kollel Bnei Torah at 1323 E 32 St is definitely what your looking for. The Rav, Rabbi Yosef Eisen & Rosh Kollel Rav Shmuel Smith are the most accepting & loving people I know. The shul is open to people from all backgrounds. From Chasidish to Black hat Yeshivish, to modern orthodox. Every person who walks in the door is greeted with a smile & offered a seeat. There is absolutely no talking during davening.

    If you are willing to expand your boundaries. Rabbi Twerski (aka the Hugachager, for the warmth with which he embraces everyone, literally and figuratively)on K and 29 might be an option.

    FrancoRachel3: If you decided to go “shule hopping” to find the best fit for you and your sons, please remember to talk to the rebetzins. Sometimes they are the ones who make or break a shule. I happen to love my reb. and keep going back to the same shule because of her. Very important as she has the Rabbi’s ear. Much hatzlacha to you and your family.
