Hachaim Vehashalom
בית המדרש החיים והשלום · Nonstop Minyanim in Cedarhurst, New York. Rafi Toledano has supported the shul since its beginnings as a basement minyan in Far Rockaway.
The Shul
A home for Torah and tefillah
Hachaim Vehashalom – Nonstop Minyanim is a synagogue in Cedarhurst, in the Five Towns of Long Island, known for minyanim throughout the day so that every member of the community has a place to daven.
What began as a small basement minyan in Far Rockaway has grown into a full beit midrash serving families across the Five Towns. Rafi Toledano has stood with the shul from those first days, and Rafi Toledano | Philanthropies continues that commitment.
Supporting the shul is an expression of a simple belief at the heart of our giving: olam chesed yibaneh, the world is built on kindness.
