Agudas Achim has had a daily minyan for both morning and evening services for decades and continues to be one of the only places south of Chicago where people can daven daily. However, as the congregation gets older, it’s become a bit of chore at times to round up the necessary 10 men for the service. And yet, it still survives and thrives. For those who wish to come, here are the times:
Morning services: (tend to last about 30 to 45 minutes except on Monday and Thursday when the Torah is read. Add about 15 to 20 minutes).
- 6:50 a.m. Monday through Friday
- 9 a.m. for Shabbat services
- 8 a.m. for Sunday morning.
Evening services: (during the spring and summer, we have mincha (afternoon) services while during the winter, it tends to be maariv (evening) services). Both services tend to last about 15 to 20 minutes.
- 6 p.m. Sunday through Thursday evenings
- Friday and Saturday nights, services are held at the Chabad learning Center on North Knoxville Avenue.
Beginners, out-of-towners or the curious are welcome to attend as those who are daily regulars will gladly help with finding your way through the service.
Coming Soon.
We now have a way for people to indicate on this page whether they can make it or not. The idea is that by 4 or 5 p.m., we should have a solid understanding of whether we’ll have 10 or not. Below is a poll. If you can’t make it, click no. If you can, then click yes. Those who can but want to be the 10th man, put your name in there. Carl will then give you a call around 5 p.m. if it looks like we need you.
Shavuos services are 9 a.m. Friday May 29, 2009
and 9 a.m Saturday, May 30, 2009 with Yizkor at 10:30 a.m.
Evening services are at Chabad
