Finding a minyan in Florida is much easier than you think — if you know where to look. Whether you’re in Miami, Aventura, or Boca Raton, there are daily, reliable minyanim across the state.
This is the Jewgo feature series, highlighting the app’s features and showing you how to use it on a day-to-day basis.
This guide walks you through Florida’s most walkable, populated neighborhoods, as well as some of the lesser-known ones, and how you can find a minyan no matter where you are. Browse live listings anytime on our South Florida shuls directory.
Miami Beach
Miami Beach is one of the most walkable areas in South Florida, with a strong concentration of shuls and multiple daily minyan options across the main Jewish neighborhoods. That density makes it a convenient place to find a minyan without needing to travel far, especially in areas near Chabad of Miami Beach and Beth Israel Congregation.
At the same time, it’s important not to assume that every nearby shul will follow the same zmanim as you, or that everything is equally close depending on where you’re staying. Even in a walkable area, a few extra blocks can make a significant difference, and minyan times can vary between locations. The practical move is to check the Jewgo app before heading out, so you can see real-time data. For listings near you, open Miami Beach shuls or the broader Miami shuls hub.
Bal Harbour
Bal Harbour is home to the iconic The Shul of Bal Harbour, a large Chabad shul founded in the early 1980s with a well-known, grand interior. For many visitors it serves as the easiest starting point when planning where to daven. From there, the surrounding area offers additional daily minyan options, including Hechal Shalom Or Oziel and Young Israel of Bal Harbour, along with other nearby shuls.
Because minyanim are spread across a few key locations, the practical approach is to first decide which shul you’re heading toward, and then use the Jewgo app to confirm the exact timing there before you leave. That extra step helps avoid showing up to the right place at the wrong time, especially in an area where options exist, but don’t align. See Bal Harbour shuls on Jewgo.
Boca Raton
Boca Raton’s minyan scene revolves largely around Boca Raton Synagogue (BRS), the largest Modern Orthodox community in the world, with multiple daily minyan options and a range of nusachim operating within the same shul.
Because so much is happening under one roof, the main decision isn’t where to go, but when to go: which minyan at BRS will you attend out of the dozens of options each day? Instead of assuming you’ll just “catch something,” it’s more effective to check the Jewgo app in advance so you can choose the specific minyan that works for you and arrive on time. Start from Boca Raton shuls.
Hallandale Beach
Just a few short miles from Hollywood, Chabad of South Broward has quickly become one of the fastest-growing Chabad communities in South Florida. Led by Rabbi Raphael Tenenhaus, the area includes several shuls under a shared umbrella of leadership and continues to attract many young families.
Because the community is spread across multiple locations rather than in a single building, the key is knowing which specific shul is right for you and the minyan you’ll enjoy most. Minyanim are regularly available, so checking the Jewgo app beforehand helps you head to the right location without confusion. Explore Hallandale Beach shuls and Hollywood shuls.
Aventura
Aventura is a more compact, pocket-style community, where shuls and minyanim are clustered into a few specific areas rather than spread evenly throughout. With roughly ten shuls serving the area, there are multiple daily minyan options, but they’re concentrated in certain pockets. Examples on Jewgo include Aventura Shul, Aventura Chabad, and Young Israel of Aventura.
That makes the Jewgo app especially useful here: search for the closest shul and minyan at any given time, and get results that fit where you actually are. See Aventura shuls for live listings.
