BRS K'hal Chassidim
Start Your Shabbos with Ruach, Chevre & Inspiration!
Embracing the greater BRS vision of Valuing Diversity and Celebrating Unity, the mission of BRS K'hal Chassidim (formerly known as the Nusach Sefard Minyan) is to further grow community within community by providing a warm, intimate, and welcoming minyan enriched with the flavor and energy of Chassidus.
About This Minyan
Recognizing Shabbos as the centerpiece of the week, BRS K'hal Chassidim focuses on providing multiple opportunities to connect with the holiness of Shabbos, beginning with "Toameha" before Mincha on Erev Shabbos — a chance to gather and experience a literal taste of Shabbos — before bringing in Shabbos with a ruach-filled Kabbalas Shabbos and Maariv.
Each Shabbos, K'hal Chassidim gathers for a short chabura in Chassidus before davening that focuses on inspirational ideas from the Parsha. The davening is enthusiastic and leibedig, while participants are serious about not talking during davening. Each week, Shabbos morning minyan is followed by a sit-down kiddush, building a strong sense of community.
While the nusach is Nusach Sefard (not to be confused with "Sefardi" or Edot HaMizrach), there are only slight variations from the Ashkenaz nusach and it should be accessible to anyone.
