Bris Avrohom of Fair Lawn has become a popular center for Jews of all backgrounds who want to learn more about their Jewish roots. Located in the heart of Fair Lawn and offering a wide variety of educational and spiritual opportunities, including Torah classes and lectures, Shabbat dinners, and an array of family and social activities. Traditional Jewish values are brought to life in a joyous, non-judgmental atmosphere.
We serve all segments of the Northern New Jersey Jewish community. Everyone is welcome regardless of their personal level of religious observance. The philosophy is in keeping with the Lubavitch approach of joy, scholarship and unconditional acceptance and love for every Jew.
Bris Avrohom of Fair Lawn was established by Rebbi Berel and Rebbetzin Chaya Esther OB"M Zaltzman in 1993. Today it is under the spiritual guidance of Rabbi Berel & Leah Zaltzman and Rabbi Mendel & Elke Zaltzman. Our approach is that Torah must be presented and experienced in a modern, relevant context and made available to each individual on their own level. Rabbis Zaltzman and their wives are emissaries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson.
The services are traditional, and are conducted in a joyous, casual atmosphere. Children are included in a special childrens program and are most welcome. Many of those who attend cannot read Hebrew, yet everyone feels at home. The prayer book is bi-lingual in Russian or English. Song and commentary add meaning and participation to the prayers.
Please allow yourself the opportunity to visit and participate in our vibrant congregation. By becoming a member at Bris Avrohom of Fair Lawn you will acquire lifelong friendships, an opportunity for spiritual growth, and most importantly a chance to be a part of your Jewish community. Please feel free to visit us for services or any other program, or just stop in to say hello.
