South Philadelphia Shtiebel

The South Philadelphia Shtiebel (Hebrew: סאוט פילאדעלפיא שטיבל) is a Jewish congregation, synagogue, and community center, located in the East Passyunk neighborhood of South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the United States. The congregation is led by Rabbanit Hadas "Dasi" Fruchter, and offers educat

ional, community, and religious programming. Its prayers follow traditional Ashkenazi Modern Orthodox traditions, but it uniquely uses a "tri-chitzah," a mechitzah (the divider between the men's and women's sections) that has a third section for those who feel more comfortable sitting outside the gender-binary-defined two-section construction.
