Singer Lipa Schmeltzer has sold his house and shul to a Satmar chossid who will turn the shul into a Chassidishe shteibel.
The house and shul located on Moray Street in the town of Airmont, New York, includes a tunnel connecting them underground.
Schmeltzer founded the shul about 10 years ago and built it with an artistic design and a unique musical style: musical instruments on the windows, and a harp-shaped Ahron Hakodesh.
“I sold it a lot less than I wanted to, and that’s fine too,” Lipa told Kikar Shabbos. “I am glad that there is someone who will continue to do what I did in this shul – bringing people closer to the Torah and the Mitzvos.”
