About Shaarei Zion Of Hollis Hills

Started in 2004, Shaarei Zion is the first and only Sephardic Shul in Hollis Hills, NY. We take great pride in helping the community grow and in how far we have come. To Shaarei Zion the most important thing is community and it's future. When the shul was forced to close a void was left in the hearts of many. Fortunately, through the hard work of the Rabbis and the community they are set to build it bigger, build it better, build stronger and build for the future. What used to be a single home is being transformed into a dynamic and highly accessible community center and shul and most importantly it's very own Women's Mikvah. With your partnership and help we can continue to grow and rebuild the home in the hearts of our congregation.

The Struggle Of Not Having a Mikvah Is Real!

"The building of a mikvah takes precedence over building a shul, buying

a Sefer Torah, and all other mitzvos.” – Chofetz Chaim, zt”

"The Chazon Ish, zt”l, instructed people that a mikvah should be a top

priority for their tzedakah. Rav Chaim Kanievsky, shlit”a, affirmed that

this ruling “absolutely” applies today regarding American communities

that do not yet have a mikvah. – Rav Chaim Kanievsky, shlit”

Our Ladies walk 2 miles to the closest Mikvah on Shabbos and Holidays. In late hours and wish Hashem's guidance, ladies walk through dangerous intersections, parks, and residential areas just to get to the mikvah. The Struggle is real!

The Growth of Shaarei Zion Of Hollis Hills

With tremendous gratitude to Hashem as well as guidance and blessings from our dear Rabbanim, we are beyond thrilled in building our very first foundation of a Jewish community here in Hollis Hillis, NY - a very first Women's Mikvah and a home to our very first Orthodox Sephardic Jewish Center, Shaarei Zion Of Hollis Hills! And we take a pride to have come thus far in our rapidly growing Jewish community. We humbly share the videos and blessings of our Rabbanim below.
