Borough Park: Orthodox Jewish Brooklyn
Borough Park, sometimes spelled Boro Park, lies in southwestern Brooklyn with a population near 150,000. It holds one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities outside Israel, particularly associated with Hasidic groups including Bobov, Ger, Belz, and Satmar. The population density, birthrate, and observance patterns all distinguish it sharply from surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods.
13th Avenue serves as the main commercial strip, lined with kosher food markets, religious bookstores, Judaica shops, and bakeries. Many businesses close from Friday afternoon through Saturday night for Shabbat observance. The neighborhood has been the center of Jewish life in Brooklyn since the mid-20th century, when postwar migration brought Holocaust survivors and their families, shifting an earlier more mixed population toward the current Orthodox character.
The F and D trains provide subway service along the edges of the neighborhood. Maimonides Medical Center, a 711-bed teaching hospital on 10th Avenue, is one of the largest hospitals in Brooklyn and serves as a major employer.
