For nearly a decade, the Sephardic Torah Center of Marine Park davened in rooms it rented. That chapter is closed. The kehila now stands in a home of its own: 3609 Quentin Road, Brooklyn — directly across the street from the shul it once rented.
Why the move mattered
Renting served the shul well in its early years, but a congregation of over one hundred families — with two minyanim, a night Kollel, youth programs, women's programs and a full calendar of events — needs walls of its own. The New Building Campaign, launched in June 2021, set out three priorities:
More space for tefillah. A growing kehila needs room for more daily minyanim, and seats for every family on Shabbat and Yamim Tovim.
More Torah. The shul's Bet Midrash hosts classes and the thrice-weekly night learning program — the beating heart of the building.
More simcha. A Simcha Hall for the kahal's semachot — britot, bar mitzvahs, and community celebrations under the shul's own roof.
Bought, renovated, and moved in
The property at 3609 Quentin Road was purchased in December 2023, and a large-scale renovation and expansion followed to transform it into a beautiful Torah center that accommodates all of the congregation's needs. Today the kehila davens, learns and celebrates in the building it built.
Dedication opportunities
The building carries the name Bet Aharon, dedicated by Mr. Harry and Alice Adjmi. Throughout the building, dedication opportunities remain — from the sanctuary's pillars and plaques to bookcases, tables and chairs in the Bet Midrash — for families who wish to write their names into this home of Torah.
