Stony Brook
Stony Brook Village is located in a historic part of Long Island’s North Shore, with some houses dating back to the 1600’s. As part of the larger Town of Brookhaven, Stony Brook has retained the natural beauty of Long Island. Our quiet local beaches, ancient trees, ponds, and trails are ideal for nature-lovers. Moderate winters, low crime, an exemplary school district, scenic background, and child-friendly museums, piers, libraries, and state parks make Stony Brook the perfect place for a family to grow.

The Eruv in Stony Brook is over 14 miles in length and was completed in 2008 under the guidance of Rabbi Shimon Eider, zt”l. It encompasses the university and a large portion of the surrounding community. The Eruv is overseen by Rabbi Perlow.
