Minyan times

Times change with the season. Confirm this week’s times with the shul before you go.

Chabad says the schedule holds all year and there is always a minyan, so visitors need not check first. Its Shabbat-meals page gives different Shabbat times (Friday Mincha 5:50 PM, Kabbalat Shabbat 7:00 PM; Shabbat Mincha 5:30 PM, then seudah shlishit, Arvit and havdalah). Chabad publishes only the Sunday/holiday Shacharit change; Sunday Mincha and Arvit are not published (probably the weekday times, but check locally). Source, Nov 5, 2026 (opens in a new tab)

Times are estimates along a mapped walking route between map points, at about 80 m a minute, not door to door. How we work out walking times. Eruv badges compare the whole route with the community’s eruv map; “On the eruv line” means the route runs right along the line, too close to call, so check it on the map. The eruv can be down, so confirm it every Friday with your shul or Chabad: the eruv in Panama City.

Good to know

Book Shabbat meals online as early as possible (up to six months ahead; at least a month ahead in winter and summer peaks). Bookings close Wednesday evening, or earlier when full, and in peak weeks meals may move to a nearby hall. Read the FAQ before writing; Chabad says it cannot answer questions the site already covers. Urgent calls: +507 6617-8280. Register with the community security office (DSI) before your first visit; see Visitor registration on this site.
