In a brief, heartfelt shmooze, Yid on the Street showcased the unique unity and warmth that define this iconic shul, a spiritual center for thousands of summer travelers drawn to the holy work inspired by Rabbi Mordechai Jungreis, the Nikolsburg Rebbe from Borough Park.
During the visit, a casual conversation with Yitzchak Jungreis, son of Rabbi Jungreis, highlighted the family’s ongoing commitment to spreading Torah values and love throughout the community.
Known for blending humor, sincerity, and insight, Yid on the Street brings authenticity and warmth to these Woodbourne encounters, offering viewers a glimpse into the vibrant spirit that makes this legendary shul a beloved destination.
The Woodbourne community, celebrated for its open arms and deep devotion, continues to inspire countless visitors, demonstrating the powerful impact of unconditional love and acceptance within the Jewish world.
This is an especially beautiful thing! During the summer the area around Woodbourne (ie the heart of the Catskills) is full of visitors, who actually need a place where they can daven, learn, and find nourishment throughout the day. Rabbi Jungreis is not just a tzaddik for providing this, he is also sort of genius with much siatta d’shmaya for the way he designed it based on unquestioning kindness and acceptance of every yid. When I was “bumming” around the mountains with my friends for a week of bein hazmanim as a kid, Woodbourne was basically the Lucky Dip. Now I live in LA, and I wish I could have experienced today’s Woodbourne
Rabbi yungries motto is every yid is a big tzaddik he certainly lives up to that
Halevi all shuls should do the same. There is too much of oy you aren’t chasdish enough for me so let me try to chase you away or vice versa. What happened to good old shomer shabbos like shuls? Rabbi Yungreis is big tzadik from his “shtiremeil to his fessleach”
