Minyan: Regular minyan not confirmed: Times: call. Evidence conflicts. Chabad was locked out in July 2019 and a Krakow court then ordered the synagogue returned to Chabad as tenant before Rosh Hashanah that year (lubavitch.com, undated page). Wikipedia calls it an active Orthodox synagogue (photo dated 2025) and Chabad Poland's older contact page (chabad.org.pl/kontakt) still lists Chabad Krakow at Kupa 18. A Google reviewer (undated) listed daily tefillot here during renovation: Shacharit 8:15 Mon/Thu and 8:30 other days, Mincha about 30 min before sunset, Maariv 20:00 in winter. Against that, chabadkrakow.org (read Nov 2026) gives services only at Sw. Sebastiana 23 and VIP Transfers calls Izaak mainly a museum that sometimes arranges a minyan for groups
