Following Kristallnacht , Breuer and his family emigrated to Antwerp , and then to New York City . Once in New York , Breuer started a congregation among the numerous German refugees in Washington Heights , which closely followed the customs and mores of the Frankfurt community . The congregation , Khal Adath Yeshurun , is colloquially known as " Breuer 's " . Rabbi Shimon Schwab , also a native of Frankfurt , served as the second Rabbi of the " Breuer " community , until his death in 1995 . Solomon Breuer and Joseph Breuer are often regarded as Hirsch 's intellectual heirs , while Schwab is regarded as aligned with the more traditional Lithuanian orthodox communities
