Congregation Ahavath Achim

This synagogue is NOT closed, as it is currently being reported by Unilocal.In fact, it has been a continuous congregation since 1898 it contains a thriving Conservative Jewish community. Though services contain elements of its once-​orthodox membership, if you have ideas for tunes to the prayers, the Rabbi welcomes them and is always willing to try out something new to shake things up. He makes a fantastic effort to meet the needs of a diverse congregation.
There are quite a number of mixed-​marriage families. Non-​Jewish spouses/​partners are welcomed and never made to feel as if they are not part of the family.
There is also a thriving Hebrew School program with some dedicated and passionate teachers who love the kids, and activities throughout the year (Purim carnival, Passover seder, decorating the sukkah, etc.).
The synagogue hosts a Friday night family service every other month, which culminates in a dinner. Great way to start the Sabbath with family, unwind, eat and relax with friends. There are also family Saturday services every few months. Lots of activities throughout the year: kosher chicken BBQ, community Passover seder, Purim party/​dance).
The Rabbi has been with Ahavath Achim for 13+ years. He’s a mainstay of the congregation and the community, approachable, friendly, and a great comfort when family is under stress.
Visitors to services are always welcome.
