MONSEY: Scheiner's Shul Prepares to Move Into New Bais Medrash
A double Hachnosas Sefer Torah is planned to mark the move into the kehilla's new permanent home.
Scheiner's Shul in Monsey is preparing to move from its temporary tent facilities into a new Bais Medrash across Forshay Road, with a double Hachnosas Sefer Torah planned to mark the occasion.
Monsey Scoop reported Wednesday that the move and celebration are planned for Sunday, December 13, after Chanukah. A separate same-day report said the exact date and program had not yet been confirmed. A detailed schedule for the celebration was not available in the reports reviewed.
The kehilla, also known as Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim, has continued davening and learning in its temporary facilities while construction of the permanent building progressed. The new Bais Medrash is intended to provide more room for the shul's growing activity.
On its website, the shul describes a schedule of minyanim throughout the day and night, together with shiurim, kollelim and programs for children and families. It serves mispallelim from a wide range of backgrounds across the Monsey area.
The planned double Hachnosas Sefer Torah would welcome two Sifrei Torah as the kehilla begins using its new home.
