Building on Our Past; Looking to Our Future
Master Plan Visioning
About five years ago, AAC began the strategic planning process. Our final report issued in November 2018, identified facilities planning as both a driver of success and an action item for the board, as follows:
For realizing the vision for the synagogue
• Physical Infrastructure to sustain our vision for AAC, include developing more high quality physical space by optimizing the use of the current space in the short run, plan for facilities to meet current and future needs, and then we should invest in expansion to meet those needs.
Action items for the board
• Conduct study of facility usage and audit of needed building maintenance and repairs
AAC has begun a study of the facility usage and improvement with this Master Plan Visioning activity. The entire congregation is invited to share ideas and solutions through congregation meetings and the engagement of a working group of members representing all the different cohort groups who make up our community.
On this webpage you will find up-to-date information about the process and ways to interact with the facilitators.

DecDecember 7 , 2023Kashrut: Why? What? How?
Thursday, Dec 7th 7:00p to 8:30p
Teacher: Rabbi Steven Rein Where do we meet? In-person only at Agudas Achim Not eating food in the same way as everyone else has been one of the central markers of Jewish identity for millennia. But many core questions about this practice of Kashrut remain open. Why do we keep Kosher in the first place? What is in our food and how do we know? What about how the food is prepared? Does it matter who prepared it? Who do we trust to prepare food that we can eat? How do we apply these ancient sources on what we can and can't eat in a modern world with abundant soap, dishwashers, and stainless steel? These 10 sessions are a whirlwind tour through the theoretical and the practical, the whys, whats, and hows of keeping kosher in an overwhelmingly non-kosher world. -
