After standing for nearly 60 years, the Stanislover Beis Medrash, known as the first chassidishe shul in Monsey, was officially demolished today by Big Star Demolition, clearing the way for the construction of a new, expanded, and more modern shul.
The longtime makom tefillah, which served as a cornerstone of the kehilla for decades, was led by its Rav who continued the legacy of his father the Stanislover Rebbe zt”l.
Crews from Big Star Demolition were on site as the building was taken down, marking the end of an era filled with countless tefillos, simchos, and memories for generations of mispallelim.
Meanwhile, tefillos will temporarily take place at the Stanislover Yeshiva Gedolah on Emes Lane as construction of the new Beis Medrash gets underway.
In its place, a new and magnificent shul is set to rise, designed to better accommodate the growing needs of the kehilla and the surrounding neighborhood, ushering in a new chapter for the historic kehilla.

Thank you for showing the pictures with the front stairs still intact – the stairs that the Gaon and Tzaddik, Rav Shlomo Brevda, ztl., used to traverse when giving a shiur there in English every second Sunday until illness – which couldn’t stop the Rav for so many years – finally overcame us. Rav Shlomo Leib ben Rav Moshe, zichron tzaddik l’vracha.
