he AARH is an open and welcoming lay-led community of 60 families, affiliated with the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation. We invite all to participate in our active schedule of religious services, educational and cultural events.

Join us for Shabbat services on the second and last Friday of each month at 6:15 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center, 2935 Birch Hollow Drive in Ann Arbor.

Last Friday services feature lots of singing with instruments, plus a separate Tot Shabbat service. Second Fridays have a short service followed by a presentation or discussion program.

Our religious school (Beit Sefer) meets on Sundays for children K-7th grade, and holds pre-K events four times yearly. Enrollment is open to both members and non-members.

We celebrate all major holidays, b'nai mitzvot, and community-wide events. Check the calendar for our schedule of social action projects, discussion groups, social and educational programs. All are welcome.
