A Few Words About Us

Kehillat Ahavat Achim, the Jewish Congregation of New Paltz, was founded in 1964 and has been affiliated with the Reconstructionist Movement since 1984.
We extend a warm welcome to any who come to join with us in worship. In keeping with the values of Reconstructionist Judaism, we hold a tradition-respectful, liberal attitude toward our Jewish civilization, in which egalitarian and participatory practices are maintained. We are also committed to a respectful attitude for other faiths, and to fostering a pluralistic society in which all seek to further the understanding among the many religious peoples of the one earth.
