President Rob Fox Shalom and welcome to Congregation Agudat Achim.  Thank you for taking the time to check us out.  We are a Conservative congregation with over 100 years of history.  We have great pride in the large percentage of our members that continually volunteer and participate in the many on-going activities that take place here.  I believe that if you stop by you will be pleased with the great sense of community that we have here. Membership in a synagogue can play a vital role in your Jewish life. The wide range of programs and activities at Agudat Achim will greatly enrich your life and help you to perform many mitzvot.  Many of our members feel that by attending services and study opportunities, they deepen their spiritual and family connections and find meaning in their lives. Please use this web site to learn more about our Congregation and then take the time to come visit us during the week or on Shabbat.  Our Saturday morning Shabbat services are filled with singing and ruach.  If you have questions about our Congregation or our programs, please contact me or Membership Chair Esta Skoburn.  If you would like to speak to one of our professional staff please contact them at the synagogue office. Our synagogue is a place where we can feel the words of King David who wrote, Ach tov vachesed yird'funi kol yimai chayay, v'shavti b'vayt Adonai l'orech yamim.  Surely goodness and kindness will follow me all of the days of my life, I and I will dwell in the Lord's house forever. I believe that Congregation Agudat Achim is a special community that can help you find a rich spiritual life.  I look forward to seeing you and your family at our synagogue. Sincerely, Rob Fox President Congregation Agudat Achim Email: rfoxod@juno.com
