Welcome to Ahavath Achim’s Website!
Good communication is one of the pillars on which any well functioning, productive community rests. To help achieve this objective, we redesigned our web site to make it more user friendly, easier to navigate, and easier to obtain information about what is happening at AA, and how you can become more involved. And, of course, we want non-members to have an easier, more user friendly way to find out who we are, what we're about, and how to join our community.
To search for a particular subject or word that is contained under any of the following headings: AA Services, Events This Week, Future Events or Other Items of Interest, go to the search box and type in a key word. While the search function covers items contained under these four headings, it is not able, at this point in time, to search the entire web site.

AA Celebrates 120 Years
as a Congregation
with
Historical Highlights
Beginning April 26 and continuing thereafter on the fourth Shabbat morning of the month through August, we will remember an historical period in the life of Ahavath Achim and honor a different segment of our membership.
April 26, we will honor and hear from many of our congregation’s past presidents. I hope you will join us to honor them and to hear their reflections on the highlights of their terms of office.
One hundred twenty years… imagine the amount and depth of stories that can be told about our congregation from so many years of vibrant life and impact within our community and the lives of our members! We are grateful to Doris Goldstein for the manner in which she has helped us to hold on to much of our history through the book she authored in honor of our congregation’s centennial anniversary, From Generation to Generation: A Centennial History of Congregation Ahavath Achim 1887 - 1987. We shall have another opportunity to thank Doris when we have the opportunity to read the supplement she is now working on in honor of our 120th anniversary.
But books alone cannot share all of our many AA stories. Sometimes authors and editors simply cannot include all of the material they are given. In our case, though, another simple fact is more relevant. Each of us has stories to share. They may not have found their way into a commemorative book because they are our stories and for whatever reason, we did not share them.
The celebration of our 120th anniversary is a time to bring some of those stories and other memories to light. The celebration of our 120th anniversary is also a time to celebrate and thank you, our members, every one of you, for your support of our congregation. Without you, of course, there would be no story to tell.
