Welcome to
Agudas Achim Congregation
Coralville, Iowa
Agudas Achim is a home for all Jews. We are Jews (and friends) of all generations, genders, socio-economic statuses, racial and ethnic identities, (dis)abilities and levels of observance. We are born Jews, Jews by choice, and Jewish adjacent. We are interfaith families, LGBTQ+ folk, singles, and elders. We are Jews with the full range of positions on Israel, Zionism, and the Diaspora. We welcome all with open arms, hearts, and minds.
Our services are hybrid
We want to be proactive in protecting our community and doing our part to minimize the spread of Covid. Covid vaccinations and boosters are recommended if advised by your doctor. Masks are optional for Shabbat services, and are available in our lobby.
