Join Rabbi Meir Bargeron for weekly Torah Study on Tuesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Zoom as we delve into important lessons from the Torah. We'll meet weekly through December 15 and then resume on January 5. (Please make a note that on December 15, we'll meet from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. so that all may 
attend the Hanukkah at Home candle lighting program.) Everyone who is post-B’nai Mitzvah and older is welcome.

We will begin by studying the weekly Torah portion, and may experiment with different formats. All that is needed is access to a Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) -- find resources. No homework is planned, though pre-reading the weekly Torah portion will help participants get more out of the sessions.

Zoom links will be sent directly to congregants. Contact the Temple office for more information at office@templecav.org or (260) 744-4245.

Thank you for your continued support of the Temple as we navigate these difficult times. We continue to be cautious in our plans to re-open the Rifkin Campus as we monitor recommendations from health and government officials, as well as consider feedback from our members. A COVID Task Force of congregants from the legal, medical, human resources, educational, local community, and congregational fields is developing a reopening plan and protocols.

The Temple remains closed for services, Religious School, programming, and meetings. The staff will continue to work in the building and follow safety guidelines. We remain committed to upholding Judaism's highest priorities for maintaining life and health.

Keeping our Achduth Vesholom family connected through online worship, educational, and social offerings will continue, along with our ongoing outreach to members without internet access.

We recognize this is a challenging time for everyone. The Temple is a kehillah kedoshah, a holy community, that is here for you. Please reach out to us if you any questions or concerns. Office hours are Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Contact us at (260) 744-4245 or office@templecav.org.

We will continue to keep our members updated regularly. Please also check for information on our website and our congregational Facebook page. 

We welcome you to Congregation Achduth Vesholom, where we’ve been building Jewish community since 1848. As Indiana’s oldest Jewish congregation, we have a long tradition of bringing together those who want to share the joy of Judaism. 

Under the spiritual leadership of Rabbi Meir Bargeron, we offer many opportunities for worship, learning, social action, culture, and friendship. A charter member of the Union for Reform Judaism, our congregation is warmly open to the traditional riches of the Jewish past, while continuously looking for ways to build a creative and meaningful future.

Our name means "unity and peace." We are truly a family at the Temple. We support one another in times of difficulty, share life’s blessings at times of joy, and work together to bring about tikkun olam, the betterment of the world around us.

Please visit our congregation and our beautiful Rifkin Campus at 5200 when we re-open. Find out how to become a member of our Temple family. Learn about our Religious School.
