We have a wonderful few days coming up at Agudath Israel Etz Ahayem, and I hope you’ll join us for prayer, learning, and community!

Friday night: We’ll welcome a group of teens from Park Avenue Synagogue in New York City who are visiting Montgomery. Their chaperone, Rabbi Pink, will offer a few words during services reflecting on the recent New York City mayoral election.

Saturday morning: We’ll gather for Tot Shabbat, a joyful and engaging service for our youngest members and their families. It’s a beautiful way to introduce children to the rhythm of Shabbat and the warmth of our congregation.

Monday, November 10 at 6:00 PM: Join us at Temple Beth Or for a special community concert featuring Kol Zimrah, a beloved Jewish choir from Chicago that has been singing together for more than 30 years. Their music is uplifting, soulful, and a gift to the spirit. This event is free and open to all—a chance to celebrate Jewish community and song together.
