We are a Hasidic congregation of the Pupa dynasty, serving the Williamsburg, Boro Park, and Monsey Jewish communities with religious services, education, and strong communal support.
Congregation Kehilath Yakov Pupa is a distinguished Hasidic synagogue at the heart of the Pupa community in Brooklyn. Guided by Grand Rabbi Yaakov Yechezkiya Greenwald II, it carries forward the rich Hungarian Hasidic heritage into a thriving present. ? As the community’s central spiritual hub, it offers regular daily and Sabbath services, ensuring a welcoming place of prayer and connection for its members.
? Beyond worship, Kehilath Yakov Pupa supports an extensive network of educational institutions—yeshivas, Talmud Torah, girls’ schools, and summer programs—that nurture future generations in Torah learning and Jewish tradition. This dedication to education reflects the community’s enduring commitment to cultivating both knowledge and values.
? Extending its reach, the synagogue operates rabbinical offices and a hotline in Brooklyn and Monsey, offering halachic guidance and personal support around the clock. This international presence strengthens communal ties and provides reassurance that guidance and assistance are always accessible.
? The community also flourishes beyond Brooklyn with its Ossining campus, Kiryas Pupa, home to the Kehilath Yakov Rabbinical Seminary and a communal cemetery. Set in a serene environment, this campus represents both continuity and growth—providing a place for advanced study and reflection in harmony with tradition.
✨ Together, these elements make Congregation Kehilath Yakov Pupa not only a synagogue but also a living center of faith, education, and community—anchored in history, expanding across generations, and deeply committed to the spiritual life of its members.
