‘Tishrei Tent’ Going Up Outside 770

A 200-foot tent is being built this week in front of 770 Eastern Parkway to accommodate the large crowds expected to daven at the main Shul in Crown Heights during the Tishrei month.

In what has become an annual tradition, the tent is coordinated yearly by activist Mendel Mintz, to accommodate the overflow crowd of residents and visitors during the High Holidays, Sukkos and Simchas Torah.

The tent is constructed in the Service Lane at 770, and provides shelter and cool air for the overflow crowd, and during this year during the pandemic, will provide an option for those specifically wishing to Daven outdoors.

For the third year running, the huge 200-foot tent with its transparent side panels has become a regular sight outside 770 on Eastern Parkway, occupying the service lane and providing a ventilated, spacious and dry location for hundreds of Chassidim to Daven, learn Torah, and Farbeng throughout the month of Tishrei.

Two of the Shul’s four Aron Kodesh Torah arks are moved into the tent from 770 to be used for minyanim prayer services. Five Minyonim can take place at once in the spacious tents as well as learning and Shiurim for bochurim.
