Life at Saranac
A year in the building
Purim in the social hall, the Lag B’Omer parade down Hertel Avenue, and the minyan and shiurim that meet here week to week.
5785 – 5786
Purim at Saranac
The social hall downstairs fills for the seudah — costumes, the megillah, and tables that go on until late.
2024
The Lag B’Omer parade
Down Hertel Avenue with drums and a banner, and back for a barbecue — run together with Chabad of Buffalo.
Today
In the building
The minyan, the shiurim, and the rooms where the day school once met.
Come daven. Come learn. Come visit.
Whether you daven here every week or you are passing through Buffalo, there is a place for you at Saranac Synagogue.
