Our shul
Khal Ohr Levana is a Sephardic shul of nusach Edot HaMizrach at 1288 Ocean Parkway, in Midwood, Brooklyn: a congregation that davens, learns and celebrates together, morning and night.
Our week
Every weekday begins with the Rabbi’s Gemara class at 6:30 and Shacharit at 7:20, and Monday to Thursday end with Night Seder at 9:00 and Arbit at 10:00.
On Erev Shabbat we say Shir Hashirim before Mincha. Shabbat morning Shacharit is at 8:30, followed by kiddush and the Vaad, and learning until noon. In the afternoon come Mincha, Seudat Shelishit with its Divrei Torah, Arbit, and Avot Ubanim, where fathers and sons learn together.

Our name, the light of the moon
קהל אור לבנה
Ohr Levana is the light of the moon. The moon has no light of its own: it shines with the light it receives, and gives it out into the night.
