Crown Heights is the capital of the Chabad-Lubavitch world. 770 Eastern Parkway — “770” — is the movement’s world headquarters and its central shul, with minyanim running from before dawn until late at night. Around it, dozens of shuls, shtiebels, and kollelim serve the neighborhood: Getzel’s Shul, Kollel Menachem, Chevra Shas, the Empire Shtiebel, and Hadar Hatorah (the pioneering yeshiva for baalei teshuva) are just the recognizable names on a much longer list.
Kingston Avenue is the commercial spine — Kahan’s Superette for the weekly shop, Empire Kosher Supermarket on Empire Boulevard, and a restaurant scene (Izzy’s Smokehouse, Alenbi, Kingston Pizza) that has quietly become one of kosher New York’s most interesting. Oholei Torah and Beth Rivkah anchor a school system that educates thousands of children within a few blocks.
On the eruv: Crown Heights has had an eruv since 2024. Whether to rely on it is a question on which opinions differ — the Crown Heights Beis Din has ruled against carrying, while the eruv’s organizers stand behind it.
