It is a small 'shul' where all the members know each other well and share together their experiences. Ahavas Torah was organized in S. Jose in 1994. Many of our members have helped new residents find homes, schools, physicians, kosher food, and other establishments which cater to the needs of the observant. The members have made arrangements for and entertained many visitors from around the world. They are active in the Chevra Kadisha, the Mikvah Society, the S. Francisco Bay Area Cheder, and assist in the publication of the local Jewish newspaper.
Educational opportunities exist for men and women at all levels.
