The Minyan in

Lincoln, NH

Summer 2025/5785

About

Each summer, Chabad of New Hampshire runs a seasonal minyan in Lincoln to serve Jewish vacationers in the White Mountains. Led by Rabbi Levi Krinsky, the minyan offers daily and Shabbat services from Tisha B’av through Labor Day in local venues like the Days Inn and nearby rental homes. It provides Sifrei Torah, Seforim, and Shiurim, creating a welcoming spiritual space for travelers.

The town of Lincoln, New Hampshire does NOT have a Jewish community year-round.

Chabad of New Hampshire is located in the city of Manchester NH 70 miles south of the vacation areas in the mountains.

Chabad has overseen the summer minyan and rented space in the vacation area for the past 10 years in order to meet the growing demand from frum travelers.

The minyan is made by visitors for the visitors and is in session only during the busy summer months.
