WELCOME TO AGUDAS ACHIM Congregation
A warm, inclusive Jewish community in Iowa City/ Coralville
Agudas Achim is a home where you belong.
Whether you were born Jewish, became Jewish, are exploring Judaism, or are part of an interfaith family, there’s a place for you here.
You’ll meet lifelong Iowans and newcomers, Jews-by-choice and folks who grew up in shul, multiracial families, singles, LGBTQ+ Jews, elders, and children. You’ll also find space for your own perspective—on Israel, Zionism, and Jewish life in the diaspora—no matter where you stand.
Wherever you are on your Jewish journey, we welcome you with open arms, open hearts, and open minds.
Come Worship at Agudas Achim!
At Agudas Achim, worship is more than prayer—it’s a shared experience of community, music, learning, and connection. We alternate between Reform and Conservative services, reflecting the richness of Jewish tradition in our community.
Newcomers are especially welcome. We kindly encourage attending in person when you’re able; being together deepens the sense of joy and belonging that makes our services special. If you need transportation, let us know—we’re glad to help! If you cannot attend, our livestream offers a meaningful way to join from home.
SUPPORT A COMMUNITY THAT MATTERS
We offer a welcoming home for Jewish connection, celebration, and learning. Your gift keeps this vital community strong, and ensures that Jewish life continues to flourish in the Iowa City/Coralville area. Thank you for your support!
