This page lists Judaica, seforim and STaM (sofrus) businesses in Brooklyn and their storefronts. Each listing links to the sources behind it and shows the date its details were last checked.
Stores in this directory are concentrated in four neighborhoods:
The mix covers silver and gift shops, seforim and book stores, sofrim selling and checking mezuzos and tefillin, yarmulke makers that also sell tallitot, and sukkah suppliers. The directory also lists a rare-books auction house in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and a Marine Park bookstore that works largely by appointment.
The directory does not list hours unless a store publishes them, so check with the store before you go, especially in the busy weeks before Yom Tov.
