By Williamsburg 365 Staff

This Shabbos, a new Beis Medrash, Nachlas Yaakov, will open in the New Williamsburg area on Walworth Street.

The new shul is specifically designed to serve the newly-married Yingerlat of the Satmar Kehila.

The new Beis Medrash will be led by the esteemed Rav Tzvi Hirsch Leitner, shlit”a, who has been appointed as dayan. Rav Leitner is the son of the renowned Rav Naftali Dovid Leitner, shlit”a, and the son-in-law of Rav Yoel Tzvi Steinmetz, shlit”a. 

This past Sunday afternoon, a private appointment event took place at the residence of the Satmar Rebbe, shlit”a. Yesterday, the Kehila gathered for a Kevias Mezuzah and a l’chaim celebration to inaugurate the Beis Medrash. 

The new Beis Medrash is situated in a beautiful facility at 94 Walworth Street and will open its doors to the public for all tefillos starting this Shabbos. Following Shabbos morning davening, a grand kiddush will be held to celebrate this occasion.
