About Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls, Ontario, is a Canadian city at the famous waterfalls of the same name, linked with the U.S. by the Rainbow Bridge. Renowned worldwide for their beauty and as a source of hydroelectric power, the falls are a place of natural wonder, attracting millions of tourists each year. The city itself offers a variety of tourist-centric attractions. It is home to the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort, which features gaming, a spa, shopping, and live entertainment. The Clifton Hill area is a vibrant, bustling hub, teeming with attractions, and shops. A trip on the famous Hornblower Niagara Cruises allows visitors an up-close and personal experience with the falls, while the Butterfly Conservatory provides a tropical oasis filled with 2,000 butterflies.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Niagara Falls

The fact that Niagara Falls is one of the great tourist attractions of the world is an important factor in the character of Jewish life in this city today. The steady stream of visitors inspired Chabad Lubavitch Rabbi Zalman Zaltzman and his wife Perla to settle in Niagara Falls in 2005. The Chabad Niagara offers religious services, classes, and holiday programming. They also offer a Kosher Niagara Visitor Centre, providing resources for Jewish visitors. While there are limited kosher restaurants in Niagara Falls itself, the Chabad provides a Kosher restaurant in the summer months, a Kosher BBQ stand, and Shabbat meals. Additionally, Toronto, with its larger Jewish community and broader range of kosher dining options, is only a short drive away.
