About Us

Congregation Ahavas Israel is a warm, welcoming kehillah that services the spiritual needs of the Passaic-Clifton community. With over 40 minyanim daily, fabulous shiurim geared towards various levels of learning, and our beautiful simcha hall which plays host to such occasions as brisim, bar mitzvah and vort’s, rarely does one’s day go by in Passaic without a trip to “the Ahavas.”

Despite the large quantity of minyanim, we nevertheless do not let that detract from the quality of our tefillos, placing a strong emphasis on conducting a quiet yet powerful davening. We daven Nusach Ashkenaz. No matter your background, everyone is welcomed into the Ahavas. We believe in the idea of “Acheinu Kol Beis Yisroel.”

However, we are more than just your typical “minyan factory” -- Ahavas Issrael has cemented itself as a true family-oriented kehillah. 

We are located at the heart of the Passaic/Clifton community, very close to the the mikveh and the Kosher shops on Main Ave. (including the Kosher Konnection Supermarket). We are just a short distance away from the Shops at Bookhaven (including Aisle One Kosher supermarket) and the Styertowne Shopping Center (including Seasons Kosher supermarket).
