Our Synagogue
|
Congregation Agudath Achim was established 100 years ago by a group of families in Huntingdon. The building was completed in 1930, and in the 1990s, with the help of Hillel students from Juniata, a garden was added. As the number of resident families declined, the original members reached out to interested families in State College, who now make up the majority of our congregation. Today, we are an intergenerational community that includes the original families, residents of Central Pennsylvania, and Juniata Hillel students.

Inclusive Congregation
|
Congregation Agudath Achim is home to many interfaith families. We are unaffiliated with any national Jewish movement, and our members come from a wide range of Jewish practices. The heart of our worship lies in the celebration of community and the active participation of all members.
