Welcome to the Agudas Achim Congregation Website!
Agudas Achim is the nexus of the local Jewish community, providing a well-rounded education for youth as well as a fulfilling experience for the entire family. We proudly welcome all families of all religious and social backgrounds. Agudas Achim is affiliated with both the Union for Reform Judaism and the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. Shabbat evening services are from Mishkan Tefillah (Reform) and Shabbat morning services are from Mishkan Teffilah on the first Shabbat of the month and from Siddur Sim Shalom (Conservative) on the other Shabbatot.
Feel free to call me (319-337-3813) or to send me an email at jrportman@agudasachimic.org I am happy to answer questions about life cycle events or other questions youmay have.
The synagogue offers a full range of religious and social activiites for both adults, young adults, and children. The synagogue has its own cemetery for member families off Linder Road in Iowa City.
