| Since its inception in 1928, the Jewish Center of Brighton Beach (JCBB) has served as a major hub of activity for the Jewish community in Brighton Beach. Each year thousands of individuals participate in religious services, classes, workshops, and lectures offered at the center. The JCBB is an Orthodox Synagogue that operates annually, seven days a week. The center also serves as headquarters to the Russian Division of the Gateways Organization, which provides classes, activities, and trips to Israel for Jewish youths. JCBB programming attracts several hundred college students on a weekly basis. Well-attended lectures on relationship building, career development, Jewish history and Hebrew language classes have served to expand offerings at the JCBB. |

| The JCBB has been featured in articles in the Jewish Week, The Jerusalem Report, Israeli newspapers, and Russian language publications and the building was also used in scenes from the Nicholas Cage film “Lord of War”.
With tasteful Moorish styling, the majestic four-story JCBB building is situated prominently on the busy Ocean Parkway thoroughfare with numerous high-rise apartment buildings within proximity. The Synagogue is also located less than two blocks from Coney Island Hospital, Abraham Lincoln public high school, and the Q and F trains. This information has been made possible by the congregation’s president, Yehuda (Jules) Loweff. For other insights into the center, please go to http://jcbb.org/shul/ |
