Minyan
We do NOT have a regularly scheduled Minyan during the off-season. But you are likely not the only one visiting.
You can use our Minyan Maker tool here.
The Shul is open and accessible 24/7/365, located on the second floor of the Jewish Welcome Centre, and can be easily accessed with a key code written in Hebrew on the door. In case 10 visitors show up, there is a Sefer Torah available to make a Minyan. Additionally, there is a mini kitchenette with coffee and cake for visitors to enjoy.
There are Minyan services available year-round in Buffalo and Hamilton, Ontario.
Attractions
There’s still so much to experience in Niagara Falls during the off-season. Most major attractions remain open throughout the winter, with stunning seasonal scenery and views you can’t see in the summer. Purchase discounted attraction tickets through the Jewish Welcome Center online or in person and make the most of your visit.

You are welcome to join the students at Chabad on campus for Shabbat meals in St. Catharines.
It is a 20 minute drive from the Falls. For more information, email visitor@jewishniagara.com.
We offer Shabbat meals throughout the off-season for groups in Niagara Falls.
