Jewish life in Zurich today is thriving and vibrant. With a Jewish population numbering some 6000, there are three established synagogues, and, in addition, a large and increasing number of batei midrash, informal minyanim and stiebelech catering to the different types of Jews that live in our city.
The Bet Midrash Brunau, known simply as Minyan Brunau was founded during the eighties in response to the increasing number of religious Jewish families choosing to move to the Enge and Wollishofen areas of Zurich. On the 14th December 2003 we moved to our present premises at Rieterstrasse 60 and our Minyan Brunau now boasts a membership of some 90 families.
We are an orthodox minyan, steeped in Jewish tradition and soundly rooted in Torah and Halachah. Our tefilot are conducted according to Eastern European ritual (nussach sefard).
