Community

Manalapan and our neighboring community of Marlboro both contain significant Jewish
populations. While there are many synagogues in the area, and several Orthodox minyanim, we are the only member owned Modern Orthodox synagogue in the area.

Our community has an Eruv, there is a Mikveh at Shalom Torah Day Academy, and anew Mikveh is currently being built at the Chabad of Western Monmouth County – both are minutes away from our synagogue.  There are day schools,(Shalom Torah Academy and the Hebrew Academy of Greater Monmouth County) yeshivot, and kosher
restaurants within reasonable driving distances.  Our Route 9 corridor provides a multitude of shopping alternatives with Kosher food being sold in all major grocery stores.

Lakewood is approximately 25 – 30 minutes to the South. The Jersey Shore is approximately 30 minutes away.

Our community continues to welcome families from outlying areas who seek the ability to purchase and own a single-family home in a lovely suburban community with moderate real estate taxes and all for $400,000 to $650,000.   The housing within walking distance of our congregation is predominantly comprised of affordable 3-, 4-, and 5-bedroom single family homes.  Prices of single-family homes range between the low $400,000 range and the high $600,000.  There are also multi-family townhome alternatives at a lower price range, within walking distance of the synagogue.
