Shechuna App Expands: Mapping the growing Communities of East Flatbush and Brownsville
What is the Shechuna app?
Conceived by local bochur Shua Pinson, who saw a need for a tool to help both locals and newcomers navigate the ins and outs of the Shechuna. The Shechuna App is more than lines of code—it’s quickly becoming a lifeline for our community. Here’s what it offers:
Interactive Map: Imagine a map that breathes. The Shechuna App’s map pulses with information, pinpointing every shul, mikvah, and beis midrash in Crown Heights. Need directions to the nearest minyan? Just tap a pin. Want to find your ideal mikvah? It’s there. The app ensures you’re never lost in the labyrinth of Crown Heights streets.
Clean Design, Clear Purpose: Simplicity reigns supreme. The Shechuna App’s interface is intuitive, catering to tech-savvy teens and seasoned elders alike. No clutter, no confusion—just straightforward access to the essentials. Because in Crown Heights, we value tradition, but we also embrace progress.
Live features: L’chaims, farbrengens, and live events—they’re all on the Shechuna App. Stay in the loop, whether you’re a local or a curious visitor. Crown Heights pulses with activity, and this app ensures you won’t miss a beat.
Why this expansion matters:
These neighborhoods—East Flatbush and Brownsville—are the threads that extend our communal fabric. Families gather for Shabbos meals, children play in courtyards, and where the pulse of Chabad life extends past the old boundaries of the Shechuna. As Crown Heights continues to expand, these communities shape its character, infusing it with vitality and promise.
So, next time you walk these streets, phone in hand, open the Shechuna App. Explore, connect, and be part of the living mosaic that defines our beautiful communities.

Thank you to Shua Pinson and the Shechuna team!
This app has been so helpful to me since I’m a newcomer and didn’t really know my way around.
Much Hatzlacha!
I’ve been using this app for the last 2 months and I can absolutely vouch for it! This app is so helpful and easy to use and is constantly being updated and improved. Highly recommend for locals as well as those visiting crown Heights. Way to go Shua!
It’s so nice to see an app that addresses a real need in our community! Kol Hakavod to the whole Shechuna team.
This app is super helpful for finding my way around the shechuna! I’ve already used it countless times and each time they add features it’s like exactly what I had hoped they would add!! I can’t wait to see what’s next for this app- keep up the good work! And if you haven’t downloaded the app yet- it’s totally free and I highly recommend!
We need more people like Shua in Lubavitch. Such an out-of-the-box idea, that was so desperately needed, in our fast-moving society. I’m sure in the right time he’ll make a power couple with his Zivvug.
Didn’t think anything of it at first, but then on Purim I woke up a little past 2 and found a reading on Shchuna. So yeah, I converted to a fan.
Go shua!
What an amazing, beautiful and creative APP
Great idea and really, tremendously helpful.
Itis great to see the young entrepreneurial spirit in our youth, and using their talents and creativity not only to make money -so they can give Tzedakah, but to actually help Kan Tziva, the Rebbe’s Shechuna.
This app is very helpful whether you live here or visiting
I had a friend that came to crown heights for a wedding and he was not Chabad and didn’t know
Where he could find a minyan go to Mikva so i told him to downloaded the app and he literally knew his way around better then me
The Shechuna app has been a huge asset to me! The simple format makes it very easy to use, I give it a raving 5 stars!
This has worked wonders!
