We are here for you
For more than 120 years, Congregation Agudas Achim has served the spiritual needs of Jewish life in Peoria and the surrounding area. With the only daily minyan and a kosher kitchen, Agudas Achim offers a unique blend of small town warmth and big city Jewish identity for its members and visitors.
This congregation is the largest traditional congregation in the state of Illinois outside of the Chicago area.There is a Talmudic study group every Sunday morning and easy access for those who wish to delve further into Torah.
Morning Services:
Sunday: 8 a.m.
Monday through Friday: 6:50 a.m.

But Agudas Achim is far more than that just services. Each year, we combine with Anshei Emeth for a community-wide Purim party, and the congregation participants are heavily involved with the Jewish Federation of Peoria. We are active sponsors of the Peoria Hebrew Day School whose children come to our services several times a year to lead and to enjoy the Shabbos morning.
Kol Nidre Services will be held at the shul in our room at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 18.
Yom Kippur services will start at 8:15 p.m. and go most of the day until an afternoon recess. There will be a Yizkor service not long after the Torah readings. Following Yizkor is Musaf. Minchah will begin at 4:45 p.m. with Neilah at 6:20 p.m. Ma’ariv conclude the day.
All are welcome to participate in a community-wide break-fast in the social hall following services. Both Agudas Achim and Anshei Emeth will participate.
