Our Story
Jewish Niagara was founded in 2005, inspired by the Rebbe’s vision to make vibrant Jewish life accessible for all Jews, wherever they are.
Our work is rooted in the philosophy of Chabad-Lubavitch. Chabad is an acronym for Chochmah, Binah and Da’at, meaning wisdom, understanding and knowledge. It reflects the belief that Judaism should not only be practised, but understood, internalized and made meaningful in everyday life.
The Chabad movement flourished for generations in the town of Lubavitch, a name associated with love. That spirit remains at the heart of who we are.

We had a beautiful experience spending Shabbat with Chabad. Met new people, made new friends and enjoyed delicious food. The rabbi adds so much to a nice Jewish experience in Niagara.
