About Us

The Az Yashir Youth Minyan is the Young Adults and Professionals Division of the Az Yashir Torah Center, the largest Persian community in Brooklyn, New York.

The Minyan is uniquely geared towards the needs of young adults in the Persian community. Under the guidance of Rabbi Benny Baalhanes, the Az Yashir Youth Minyan provides a center for Jewish life in accordance with the rich heritage of the Persian tradition. Additionally, Rabbi Benny, provides the guidance and instruction to help members navigate this critical transitional period in their lives, while remaining committed to a Torah lifestyle, and maintaining a connection to Torah study.

The Minyan follows the Persian minhagim and nusach, but everyone is welcome to join. We look forward to greeting you!
