Congregation Agudat Achim

Our minyan meets one or two times daily for communal prayer in our beautiful and historic chapel. Led by our lay leaders, our egalitarian minyan support congregants and guests in fulfilling the commandment of praying to God daily and the duty of reciting the Kaddish when in mourning or on the anniversary date of the passing of a loved one (yahrzeit).

Your support in attending minyan is essential, as we cannot recite the full service, including Kaddish, without ten adult Jews (above Bar/Bat Mitzvah age). So whether it is once a day, once a week, once a month, or when your schedule allows it, please make the effort to join us. Please review our current minyan schedule and make an effort to join us. It is a short time out of your day, which truly makes a big difference.

Due to the pandemic, revision of our weekday minyan schedule was required. Until further notice, please join us via Zoom for daily minyan services. There are no weekday services being held in the synagogue at this time.
