History

Beis Shmuel Tzvi was founded as Khal Yereim in 2010/5771 by Rav Shmuel Berkovicz Zt”l and a small chevra that were seeking a warm, heimeshe place to daven. The shul quickly grew, thanks to the warmth and kindness of the Rov. After growing out of our intial location pretty quickly, we moved to our current location, where we continue to expand in membership and grow b’ruchniyus. In 2021/5781, under the current leadership of Rav M.M.Y. Grunfeld shlit”a, the name of the shul was changed to Beis Shmuel Tzvi to forever cement the legacy that the Rov zt”l left us.
