Congregation Ahavas Chesed, Mobile’s Conservative Synagogue, located on the beautiful Gulf Coast, is made up of 174 families. The fabric, from which our congregation is woven, is made up of varied activities and opportunities for not only attending religious services, but social activities, as well. There is a regular Torah study every week, and discussion group and minyan on Tuesday, and also weekly mishnah study. Our Sisterhood and Men’s Club enrich the lives of our Synagogue families and provide many activities for our members to work together on projects, which support our Synagogue.

Not only is our community warm and inviting, but also our Rabbi, Steven Silberman, brings the Torah to life each week with lively discussion. There is no question that goes unanswered, and the atmosphere is totally conducive to free exchange of information and ideas.

Among the many benefits of membership the opportunity of communal study with Rabbi Silberman, who has been our spiritual leader for almost 16 years. Under his direction, we have strong Religious and Hebrew school programs, in which our children prepare for their Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, as well as Confirmation. Students enrolled in the Religious School and Hebrew School, who meet the requirements, are given the opportunity to attend Camp Ramah, at no cost to their families. In addition, Confirmation students are eligible for a scholarship to visit Israel for 5 weeks with a program organized by Young Judaea. Gan Shalom, Mobile’s only Jewish pre-school, is a loving and nurturing environment for our youngest members.

We welcome you to join us for Services and let us welcome you personally into our Synagogue. We strive to personify the meaning of our name Ahavas Chesed (“loving kindness”).
