This page lists Judaica, seforim and silver businesses in the Lakewood area and their locations. The area is curated as one region that takes in Lakewood and the neighboring communities of Jackson Township and Toms River. Each listing links to the sources behind it and shows the date its details were last checked.
Lakewood is home to Beth Medrash Govoha, a yeshiva with more than 9,000 students.[1]
The largest cluster in this directory is on River Avenue, including stores in shopping plazas. Other Lakewood locations are on Clifton Avenue, America Avenue, Madison Avenue, East County Line Road, James Street, Squankum Road, Hillside Boulevard and 6th Street. A seasonal arba minim seller on Daniel Drive and a sukkah store on New Egypt Road are listed too. In Toms River, the directory lists a fine-art and Judaica business whose local address is by appointment only.
Most of these businesses are seforim stores or Judaica and silver retailers. Several seforim and Judaica chains run more than one Lakewood branch, so check the address on the listing before you go.
The directory does not list hours unless a store publishes them. Confirm with the store before you visit, especially a seasonal seller.
