Eruv

No eruv

Chabad House of Milan and Chabad Central Milan both state 'There is no Eruv' (pages read 1 Nov 2026) and no status page applies, so do not carry outdoors on Shabbat. Shabbat key belts are supplied by some kosher B&Bs and apartments.

What locals would tell you

  • Shabbat meals with hosts: Chabad House (Via Soderini 3) runs central Friday-night and Shabbat meals by prior registration through the form linked on chabadhouseofmilan.com/shabbat/ (price not published). Chabad Central (Via degli Arcimboldi 1) and Naar Israel (Piazza Castello 5, +39 335 779 5493) also take bookings.
  • Meals to your room: Eshel Israel (Beit Chabad kitchen) sells prepaid Shabbat take-away or delivery at EUR55 Friday night, EUR45 lunch, EUR95 both, EUR180 per couple (eshelisraelmilano.com/shabbat or WhatsApp +39 351 377 0693). Ba'Ghetto Milano's Shabbat meals are take-away only, prepaid online; dine-in only for groups over 15.
  • No eruv in Milan (Chabad Milan and Chabad Central both say so), so do not carry outdoors. My B&B, Kedem and CHEZROMYK supply Shabbat key belts or keys; Residence Desenzano and Hotel Gambara say Shabbat keys are available.
  • Where to stay: the Soderini / Viale San Gimignano / Via Washington area has Chabad House, shuls, shops and restaurants within 2-15 min walk. Tempio Centrale (Via Guastalla 19) is about 4 km from there by map, so stay near the Duomo (about 11 min walk to Via Guastalla, 2 min to Chabad Central) if you want the Central Temple.
  • Security: carry a passport. Tempio Centrale expects ID and advance notice (no online registration is published; reviewers sent details about a week ahead; Rabbinical Office +39 02 5512 029, desk@rabbinato-milano.it) and a Centro Modena reviewer advises calling first. Hechsher: Rabbanut di Milano supervises only Ba'Ghetto, Carmel, Denzel, My Kafè, Mister Meat, Snubar and Tuv Taam per the community list; its shop list states no hechsher for Dolcevita, Eretz or Kosher Paradise.
  • Friday closing (candle-lighting 16:46 on Fri 6 Nov, Shabbat ends 17:49): Mister Meat 12:00, Kosher Paradise 13:00, Eretz 13:30, Denzel bakery and Carmel 14:00, My Kafè and Denzel 14:30, Ba'Ghetto and Snubar 15:00, Tuv Taam 15:45; all closed Saturday daytime. MXP to Chabad House is about 50 min by car; Hebrew-speaking drivers are listed at chabadhouseofmilan.com/tourist-info/.
  • Near the Duomo: Chabad Central's meat restaurant (Via degli Arcimboldi 1) is open Mon-Thu 12:30-14:00 by WhatsApp reservation (+39 02 8209 9430); its site lists no Friday or Shabbat hours, so book Shabbat meals through the Chabad Central registration page.
  • Naar Israel (Piazza Castello 5) publishes no Shabbat prices: Google reviewers quote about EUR42 per person for Friday dinner (one) and over USD 250 prepaid for a family of five (another), both undated, so agree the total per person before paying.

Seen in older guides, checked Nov 2026: Re Salomone (Via Sardegna 45): the community page (read 1 Nov 2026) still lists it, meat, in its English section with the same address and phone (02 4694643) as today's Ba'Ghetto Milano; current lists show only Ba'Ghetto, so it is treated as the same venue and not listed separately. · Il Carnevale and Kosher Corner: Not found online as of Nov 2026 (checked Google Places, the Rabbanut di Milano hashgachà list and Chabad Milano's food list); unconfirmed, not known to be closed. Ask Chabad Milano on +39 320 633 9082. · Ohel Jaakov (German rite, Via Cellini): Not found online as of Nov 2026 (checked Google Places in Italian and English, where Via Cellini 2 shows only a restaurant, and Totally Jewish Travel, which lists '2 Via Cellini' with no phone or times); not added. Ask the Rabbinical Office on +39 02 5512 029. · 'Chabad Via Carlo Poma': Not found online as of Nov 2026 under that address. Chabad houses are at Via Soderini 3, Via degli Arcimboldi 1 and Piazza Castello 5; Casa 770 (Via Carlo Poerio 35) is Chabad Italia's landmark base, not a Shabbat minyan. Ask Chabad Milano on +39 320 633 9082. · Beth Shlomo: Google puts it at Corso Lodi 8 and a Nov 2020 moked.it article places it in Porta Romana (it was then at risk of closing), so Corso Lodi 8 is kept; the community page's 'in the Galleria' is unexplained, so confirm with the rabbi before going. · Kosher King (Via Marcona 1, +39 02 551 1219) and Supergal (Via Enrico Fermi 39/41, Gaggiano, +39 02 90842100): on the community shop list, which states no hechsher or hours. Google Places lists Kosher King with no hours, and a reviewer says it was never open and shows no sign with hours, so open status is unconfirmed (not known to be closed) and neither is added. Spagnuolo Kosher Banqueting is a Rabbanut-supervised caterer with no address published. Chabad Central's meat restaurant (Mon-Thu 12:30-14:00, WhatsApp) states no hechsher, so it is not added. · Central Milan mikvah: Chabad Central's FAQ (updated 14 Jun 2026) says there is no active mikvah in central Milan; use the Soderini listings. · Lev Chadash (Piazza Napoli 35) is a progressive congregation, so it is excluded from the Orthodox list. · Persian (Sephardic-Persian) synagogue, Via Montecuccoli: the community oratories page says it is in a community centre built in 1986, but Not found online as of Nov 2026 with a street number, phone or times (checked Google Places in Italian and English and the pages read); not added. Ask the Rabbinical Office on +39 02 5512 029. · Daniela's Kosher B&B (9 Viale San Gimignano): Totally Jewish Travel says 'Shabbat key belts are provided', a hot-water dispenser and a heated Shabbat plate on request, but Not found online as of Nov 2026 with a phone (checked Google Places, Chabad Milano's list and Totally Jewish Travel), so it is not added; ask Chabad Milano on +39 320 633 9082.
