Modern Day Shtetl – Building Community in Brooklyn

Connecting neighbors through food, wellness, and learning

About Modern Day Shtetl

We are a vibrant, secular community in Brooklyn dedicated to fostering meaningful connections through mutual aid, education, and shared cultural experiences.

Our mission is to create a supportive network where neighbors come together to help one another, learn from each other, and build lasting relationships that strengthen our community.

Through food drives, wellness events, and educational workshops, we're reviving the spirit of the traditional shtetl for the modern world – a place where everyone belongs and everyone contributes.
