Agudas Israel is a center for Jewish living in Henderson County and beyond, inclusive of all aspects of worship, learning, community, and culture.
Agudas Israel is a warm, welcoming diverse congregation that inspires our members to a love of God, Torah and Israel. It is a center for all Jewish people who seek to develop and enrich their lives through worship, learning, community involvement, culture and social activities. We are committed to preserving our Jewish heritage for present and future generations.
It’s easy to welcome Shabbat at Agudas Israel at a time that works for you. For the first two weeks of every month, the Shabbat service starts at 5:30pm. For the third and fourth weeks of the month, the service starts at 7:30pm. Join us as we celebrate Shabbat every week.
Membership Discounts for Young Adults
Agudas Israel offers a reduced membership plan that makes it more affordable for young singles, couples, and families to become involved with our local Jewish community. Membership for those 35 and under is free for the first year. Years two through four are also significantly discounted.
We never want financial concerns to prevent anyone from joining Agudas Israel. We continue to offer other financial assistance to those in need on an individual basis. For more information, please contact the Agudas office at 828-693-9838.
