Congregation Ahavath Israel is a Conservative Synagogue located in Kingston, NY in New York’s Hudson Valley.
We are fully egalitarian, welcoming men and women to read Torah, Haftarah and receive Aliyot. Our small size enables us to enjoy a warm, informal atmosphere at services.
We are proud to be one of the few Synagogues that do not require High Holiday tickets for either members or non-members. We are also amongst the few Synagogues that do not require membership in order to participate in our Talmud Torah Religious School.
We are a multi-generational congregation, proud to have young children and older adults actively participating together in synagogue life. Our doors are open to interfaith families for all services, programs and events. We encourage non-Jewish family members to join us and participate in Synagogue life. We also welcome Jews by choice, those who are non-observant and everyone who is looking to strengthen their Jewish identity and commitment.
We are fortunate this year to have the services of a Legacy Heritage Fellow from the Jewish Theological Seminary, Rabbi Jen Schlosberg, as our spiritual leader, who joins us approximately twice a month for services, study sessions and classes. We welcome and encourage lay participation in our services.
