Moving to Buffalo/Going to school here

For well over three decades, the Young Israel of Greater Buffalo has been home for many University at Buffalo students and their families. From Boro Park to Yerushalaim, Teaneck to Toronto, wonderful singles and families from all over the cultural spectrum have become a part of our vibrant community.

 The Shul Welcoming Committee can help you find an apartment, housing, etc., as well as give you all the pertinent information relating to the schools, mikveh and kosher food.

If you are thinking about relocating to Buffalo, please contact us at info@yibuffalo.org. Please,  tell us who you are, what information or assistance you are looking for - including Shabbos hospitality, community info, and cost of living – and we will be sure to get back to you and help in any way we can.

We currently have frum singles and families in many major schools or departments at UB: the Dental School, Medical School, Law School, etc. and can put you in touch with them and alumni from the school you may be applying to.

We would be delighted to help you (and your family) find accommodations for a Shabbos or weekday visit.

We look forward to meeting you!
