Captured Moment: No, Not That Loft

YS GOLD 

This week’s captured moment takes us to the center of Boro Park and to the Loft… not The Loft of today, but what was seemingly a clothing store. 

A sharp observer will notice the Woolworth’s store peeking out on the right of this picture. 

Did we just give away the location of this establishment?

Answer to the previous captured moment:

The “Mishenichnas Adar” sign in question hung in the shul of Rav Yosef Yitzchok Parnes of Boro Park who established his shtiebel in the 1920’s. 

The sign hung there for many decades, and was over one hundred years old by the time the shul closed.
