This congregation is the largest traditional congregation in the state of Illinois outside of the Chicago area. In addition to services, Agudas Achim has an active Ladies’ Auxiliary as well as a Brotherhood. There is a Talmudic study group and easy access for those who wish to delve further into Torah.
