Celebration in the Court of Chernobyl, as Intervening Property Acquired for Shul

The Chernobyler Chassidus in Boro Park is celebrating a miraculous milestone this 2nd day of Chanukah. 

The chassidus has long outgrown its center, located on 41st Street and Twelfth Avenue, and more space was needed. 

While askonim had successfully acquired a property located two lots over from the Shul, acquiring the intervening lot seemed elusive. When it went on sale, purchasing it was thought to be an impossible feat, especially in the short amount of time in which it would be offered to them. 

But then a fundraising campaign was launched, in which an astounding 10,000 people contributed in order to make this a reality. 

This afternoon, the shul closed on the property—paving the way for the extension of the shul over the entirety of the three lots—and bringing joy into the hearts of the many chassidim who will soon inhabit a large, beautiful center for the chassidus.
