SERVICES AT CONGREGATION AHAVAS SHOLOM

Congregation Ahavas Sholom holds services every Saturday morning—starting at 9:30 a.m., in the summer as well. Attendance hovers around 25 to 30 people, with 60 or more attendees on special occasions. These special occasions are not infrequent, having included birthdays, aufrufs (before marriages), weddings, baby namings, brit milahs, Sabbaths dedicated to organizations that have helped the Congregation, such as the Shomrim Society (Jewish law enforcement officers), Federation’s Young Leadership Division, or a havurah from Congregation Agudath Israel in Caldwell. They now include bnei mitzvah--10 or more in the last years.

Every week the Congregation says Kiddush, under our dear matriarch Ceil Arons strict supervision, and eats lunch together in the social hall downstairs following services. The Congregation also holds services all major holidays, and this year held Tish'a B'Av and Simchat Torah services for the first time in recent decades.

In addition to weekly Shabbath Services, the synagogue holds periodic Friday evening services and dinners. Services are also held on the High holidays and on all major holidays throughout the year.

Shabbat services start at 9:30 am.

Welcome to the Webshul!

The magnificent Ark dates from 1870’s and is a transplant. The Ark first graced the majestic 19th century synagogue of Congregation Beth-El, later Rodeph Sholom, at Lexington Avenue and 63rd Street in NY City.

After setting up the lights, Alan Zwiebel presented us on Erev Yom Kippur—5769

with the amazing vision of the beauty of the Ark .
