Israel Etz Ahayem Synagogue is a nonprofit religious institution belonging to its members and the necessary funding for its operation comes solely from its membership. Members are asked to contribute their own fair share of dues for maintaining Agudath Israel Etz Ahayem and its programs. The Membership Committee works with each new member to best determine their dues in accordance with their financial ability. Agudath Israel Etz Ahayem does not have an initiation membership fee.
Members receive monthly statements.
United Synagogue Youth USY was formed in Montgomery in 1958 to provide activities for the young men and women of Agudath Israel Etz Ahayem Synagogue. USY is where leadership training for our youth begins and our congregation remains committed to a strong program for Jewish youth. Our USYers travel to other southern cities to study and meet and socialize with other Jewish teenagers, as well as participate in their own local programs. The Sisterhood membership consists of approximately 135 women and is nationally affiliated. Its purpose is to provide friendship and support, offer educational activities, introduce new ideas, and perform meaningful, needed services.
