Congregation Agudath Achim in Taunton

Do you have an old Hebrew book lying around that you've been meaning to throw away but haven't, because you heard somewhere that it should be buried? How about a worn out tallis or tallis bag? Or old personal letters you've been meaning to burn?

A week from Sunday we will be burying the community's old and worn-out prayerbooks in a ritual at Mt. Nebo cemetery. Please join us for this rare experience.

🏳️‍🌈 Pride Shabbat: A Celebration of Light, Love, and Belonging

The South Coast LGBTQ+ Network is proud to partner with Congregation Agudath Achim in Taunton for a special Pride Shabbat service, and we would love for you to join us.

This Pride Month, we are coming together for a joyous evening that celebrates the beautiful diversity of our community and the people who make it whole. Shabbat is a time to pause, to give thanks, and to gather in fellowship, and we are honored to share in that tradition with our friends at Agudath Achim as we lift up the dignity, the courage, and the wholeness of our LGBTQ+ family, friends, and neighbors.

Expect an evening of song, prayer, reflection, and celebration in a space where all are embraced. Whether you are a longtime member of the congregation, part of our Network family, or simply curious and looking for community, there is a seat at the table for you.

Welcome shabbat with us this Friday night at 7pm!

After kiddush Reb Josh will lead a short teaching and discussion on the sefira of the week: Tiferet — beauty, balance, and compassion.

Tiferet embodies the balance of the loving flow of Hesed and the power and restraint of Gevurah. Between suffocating, grasping, or permissiveness and debilitating judgement, it is the stability of compassion. It is the Holy One of Blessing, the God before whom we stand in prayer. - https://mailchi.mp/agudathachim.org/shabbat-and-purim-this-week-13051378

Shabbat shalom!
