Our Community
Ahavat Torah was founded in 2003 and includes about 100 members from diverse backgrounds. Through adult programming and social gatherings, we have formed a community that comes together to worship, pray, learn, share meals, and support each other through times of celebration and difficulty.
Each week, congregants at Ahavat Torah have the opportunity to be part of the service and get close to the Torah. This congregation truly lives up to its motto of “One Torah, One People, Many Teachers!”
Our small size and simple structure make it easy for each voice to be heard. Our beloved teacher and leader, Rabbi Miriam Hamrell, not only guides our lively discussions, but also inspires members to volunteer and offer their own teachings and interpretations.
“A lot of people find solace in our synagogue. This is a unique community where people can feel proud to be who are they are. I have never been to a place where, if there is an issue, people are comfortable being honest and open with each other. Our Rabbi gives us the language to speak with each other about anything. We can be safe while being free to be genuine and open. That is how I feel a synagogue and a Jewish community should be.”
