JUST IN: Scheiners Shul to Move Into New Building After Chanukah; Grand Double Hachnusas Sefer Torah Planned

By Rockland Daily Staff

After years of construction, Scheiners shul in Monsey is preparing to move from its tents into the new building across Forshay Road after Chanukah.

A grand double Hachnusas Sefer Torah is planned to mark the move with a Torah celebration and joy.

Scheiners began more than a decade ago as a small night kollel and grew into a busy center of Torah and tefillah, drawing mispallelim throughout the day and night. Its expanding operations spread across houses and large tents at its Forshay Road campus.

The tents became a familiar part of the shul's identity. Winterized and equipped with steam heat, carpeting and chandeliers, they served the kehilla through the seasons as work continued on the building across the street.

The move will open a new chapter for the many mispallelim who have become accustomed to davening and learning in the tents. The planned double Hachnusas Sefer Torah will celebrate the transition into the new shul.
