Congregation Raim Ahuvim
The Austro-Hungarian Chevra in
Philadelphia
Founded
1892
Welcome!
Congregation
Raim Ahuvim is one of Philadelphia’s oldest Orthodox Shuls,
dating back to 1892. It was founded by a group of Austro-Hungarian immigrants
in the Society Hill section of the city. After several moves, the Shul is
now located in Overbrook Farms, bordering Wynnefield.
Our membership today consists of Jews of all stripes, but we daven Nusach Sefard, in accordance with
the tradition of the Shul. Recently, the
Shul went through a period of upheaval due to a fire on June 22nd 2011,
resulting in a need for massive renovations.
Thanks to volunteer work,
contributions from our members, and from the community at large, the renovation
of our Shul which is housed on the ground floor is now for the most part
completed. The renovation also
included comprehensive structural work on the outside walls. We are now working on reestablishing
regular davening times and we welcome you to celebrate your simcha in our
beautifully renovated social hall.
