PROVIDING A MEANINGFUL JEWISH EXPERIENCE THROUGH ALL STAGES OF LIFE

AHAVATH ACHIM CONGREGATION

AHAVATH ACHIM - אהבת אחים

Ahavath Achim, which means "brotherly love," has been part of our name for over 100 years and is the essence of our congregation. Offering a warm and friendly atmosphere, every one of us is part of the larger AAC family. We strive to meet the needs of all members and their children. While we are a Conservative/Masorti synagogue, all Jews are welcome, regardless of background or level of observance. Join us for services, become a member, celebrate life cycle events - then you will know what our name really means to us all.

ABOUT OUR CONGREGATION

With a history spanning over 100 years, our congregation has many members who are third and fourth generation. Many more recent member families and individuals of all ages, from Wichita and other areas of the country, are active in our synagogue.

SERVICES

We maintain a robust series of services and classes that are open to the public. Our traditional services in an egalitarian Conservative/Masorti environment emphasize familiar melodies and community involvement.
