about us

The Shtibl Minyan is an egalitarian community whose davening attempts to fulfill the joyous Hassidic ideal of "kol atzmotai tomarnah/with all my limbs I will say praise." (Psalms 35:10)

In addition to davening together (using the nusach of Reb Shlomo Carlebach), we study Torah and engage in political and social action to further justice.

It is known that the essential service of a person by way of which one might ultimately achieve wholeness in service to God, and grasp God's Divinity, is the study of Torah and prayer. It cannot be by way of one without the other, for an ignorant person cannot become a chassid (Avot 2:5); nor can one fulfill one's soul only through Torah as our Sages of blessed memory said: "One who says: 'There is nothing but the study of Torah,' has not acquired Torah." (Maor Vashemesh, Breishit)
