B'nai Yosef Synagogue
Brooklyn, United States
The B'nai Yosef Synagogue (or Congregation Bnai Yosef, formerly Magen David Congregation of Ocean Parkway) is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue located at 1616 Ocean Parkway and Avenue P in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, United States. The congregation practices in the Sephardi rite. The synagogue is considered "America's busiest synagogue for Middle and near-Eastern Jews", with over 30 prayer services daily. Built in c. 1973, it became known as The Painted Shul, because its 13,000-square-foot (1, 200 m2) interior is covered in brightly painted murals, making it the only completely muraled synagogue in the world. The synagogue is also unusual in that it was built and is funded by an anonymous individual; thus members are not required to pay any dues.
