Community Commitment
Enjoying Covenantal Relationships
The sacred community of Agudas Achim wouldn’t be what it is without each of our congregants. AAC is a sacred community built on covenantal relationships, with our covenant centered around what each of us gains from being a part of our synagogue community, as well as what each of us contributes to it—spiritually, financially, socially and intellectually.
