Examples

“My brother's aufruf was last Shabbos as my father's shul, a shteibl he has attended since the early 60s (my beris was there, my bar mitzvah, my own aufruf, one of my sons' beris was there, etc...)”

“The shtiebel fits that niche. Less structured than the large congregations, shtieblach offer a built-in community where everybody knows your name, but long-term expectations are low.”
