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.
