Congregation Ahavath Torah
Congregation Ahavath Torah is a Modern Orthodox synagogue located at 240 Broad Avenue, in Englewood, Bergen County, New Jersey, in the United States.
History
The synagogue traces its roots back to 1895, and was the first synagogue in Bergen County, New Jersey. The current synagogue on Broad Avenue was completed in 1958, after earlier minyans and synagogues located on Armory Street, Durie Avenue, on Humphrey Street (1911), and on Englewood Avenue.
In 2016, it opened a mikveh with two pools. In 2017 it had about 750 families.
Among the Shabbat morning minyanim, the synagogue includes a Sephardic minyan known as the Benaroya Sephardic Center.
