Captured Moment: Bnei Chaim Haleberstam

YS Gold 

This week’s captured moment takes us to a shtiebel on Fort Hamilton Parkway, possibly the very first chassidishe shtiebel in Boro Park, having been established in the 1920’s. It was named Bnei Chaim Halberstam, since it was led by a descendant of the Sanzer Rov. 

Can any of our readers identify the location?

Answer to last week’s captured moment: 

The funeral home in question was located on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 43rd Street, and later continued to serve in this capacity—as the Shomrei Hachomos funeral home—until recently, when it closed up. 

Looking at the comparison photos, we can see that the beautiful brick and stone façade was built around the original home.
