Recognized as the Music Shul of Merrimack Valley and beyond!
Congregation Ahavat Olam is a welcoming, non-affiliated Jewish community where tradition, music, and meaningful relationships bring people together across generations.
Rooted in Community. Inspired by Music. Connected Through Jewish Life.
A Community Connected. From Generation to Generation.
Congregation Ahavat Olam invites you into a welcoming, music-filled Jewish community where “Everlasting Love” is more than our name—it is how we gather, celebrate, learn, and grow together.
Through Ruach-filled services, meaningful holiday experiences, inspiring youth learning, and special musical celebrations featuring Tutti Druyan, Ron Druyan, the Ahavat Olam Ensemble, and guest artists, we create opportunities to connect with Jewish life in ways that feel participatory, uplifting, and authentic.
Guided by Rabbi Idan Irelander, we come together not only to celebrate life’s milestones, but to nurture our spirits, pursue tikkun olam, and strengthen our connection with one another and with God.
“We have been creating something very special here… that our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will benefit from—and continue the legacy we have started.”
If you have not yet experienced Congregation Ahavat Olam, we invite you to learn more and discover what makes our community so special.
The members of Congregation Ahavat Olam “Share one Judaism, one God, one Torah, and one Family.”
Our congregation is built on the belief that Jewish life is enriched through meaningful relationships, vibrant worship, music, and lifelong learning.
“Congregation Ahavat Olam is a place where individuals and families will find a home filled with the spirit of Everlasting Love.”
Ahavat Olam—Hebrew for Everlasting Love—is more than our name. It is also a prayer that acknowledges God’s timeless love toward Israel and all people.
For us, Ahavat Olam is a call to action: to lead with compassion, strengthen our community, and carry the values of Everlasting Love into how we worship, connect, and care for one another.
A Message from Rabbi Idan
Congregation Ahavat Olam practices one Judaism that transcends any single denomination.
“I have always felt that by classifying different streams in Judaism, we create an artificial division among Jews. At Congregation Ahavat Olam, we practice one Judaism that transcends any single denomination, one that unites people with varying identities and celebrates the best our tradition has to offer. After all, our people share one Judaism, one God, one Torah, and one family.” — Rabbi Idan
