Ahavath Achim Synagogue Centennial Logo

On April 19, 2020, the Ahavath Achim Sisterhood will
commemorate its 100th Anniversary from 4 to 7 in the afternoon with
a celebration of our past, present and future at our synagogue on Peachtree
Battle Avenue.

The symbol of our Sisterhood is of the Four Matriarchs: Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah. They symbolize strength and grace, open to new challenges, new paths and opportunities, while embracing Jewish heritage and tradition and encompassing the total synagogue community. We are an active part of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, an international organization.

My quiet reflection lead to action!

The desire to ride Pascha and Black Olive lured me to the stables. […]

I am not afraid to raise my voice for honesty, truth, and compassion. I am committed, passionate and motivated when I advocate for change. Strategic advocacy communication is key to my journey!

What is advocacy?
