B'nai Israel Synagogue (Woodbourne, New York)

B'nai Israel Synagogue, more commonly called The Woodbourne Shul, is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and historic, yet popular, synagogue, located at 457 NY State Route 52, in Woodbourne, in the Town of Fallsburg, in the Catskills region of Sullivan County, New York, in the United States.

[1] In 2010, Rabbi Mordechai Jungreis, Rebbe of the Nikolsburg-Woodbourne Hasidic dynasty, purchased the synagogue building, then in decline, from the congregation board for $120,000.

In the 2014 summer, the shul had approximately 10,000 weekly attendees; and in the summer of 2015, approximately 120,000 people attended the shul; described by some as a Minyan factory, with minyanim commencing every ten minutes throughout the day, from early morning to past midnight.
