Congregation Beth Ahabah

No

The sixth oldest Jewish congregation in the U.S. was founded three years after the Virginia General Assembly enacted the Statute for Religious Freedom in 1786. But that is just the beginning. In the middle, 1904, our present synagogue was erected.

Congregation Beth Ahabah draws on its rich heritage to be a home for spirituality (Beit T'fila), education (Beit Midrash) and community (Beit K'nesset) in a diverse, joyful, vibrant, and welcoming reform Jewish environment for today's congregants and for future generations.

The above statement is from the mission of Congregation Beth Ahabah, a thriving Reform Jewish congregation with a 200-year history. Composed of 700 member families, we are dedicated to participating in a variety of community service programs. In addition to weekly religious services, Congregation Beth Ahabah offers active religious school and youth group programs, adult programs (including Sisterhood, Brotherhood and adult education courses), and youth and adult choirs.
