Odd nickname[edit]

Isn't "shul" Yiddish? "Painted shul" would surely be an odd nickname for a Sephardi institution, no?--Pharos 21:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Syrian Jews in Brooklyn often go to the same schools as the Ashkenazim (Flatbush Yeshivah etc.) and have taken on a certain number of Yiddishisms from their neighbours, such as shul, daven, tachlis etc. Also, the fame of this synagogue seems to have spread beyond the Syrian community. --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) 12:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To any of the regulars or pretty much anyone in the Syrian Jewish community in Brooklyn, B'Nai Yosef is known as "Sitt Shul", after the President, Eddie Sitt. This "Painted Shul" thing is nonsense, the Jewish Press wrote it in an article years ago, but I've never heard anyone refer to it that way, and I've been praying at B'nai Yosef all my life.

Wikipedia works on what reliable sources say, and the Jewish Press is not the only one to say it. For example, here's a 2008 New York Times article: "He covered the 13,000-square-foot interior of B’nai Yosef Synagogue in Brooklyn — now known as the Painted Shul — with murals". Also, there was that 2003 documentary by Marji Greenhut titled "The Painted Shul". Jayjg ^(talk) 02:26, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
