Congregation Beth Ahm is a Modern Conservative synagogue led by Rabbi Alan Lefkowitz. Created by 16 families in 1951, it was initially known as The Jewish Community of Greater Windsor. In September 1960, we opened our doors in a newly built synagogue on 362 Palisado Avenue in Windsor. Our members live throughout Greater Hartford and include interfaith families. Our membership dues are reasonable and affordable, and less than those of other synagogues in our region.
Here are some programs and services we are proud to offer:
