What I love about the temple is that they offer religious, spiritual, educational, cultural and social activities for Hindus throughout New England. And not to forget the delicious snacks and food, look out for specials on their Facebook page. I've been here for holi multiple times. It's probably the largest gathering in all of CT for this festival, I look forward to it every year. I should plan to visit on other occasions as well, it's a great way to indulge in cultural experiences, being so far away from home and esp. for the kids... it's very educational.

I was very impressed that she was not at all defensive but validated our feelings. She gave the information that the pastor was no longer there and she felt things were changing, She said she would take my review to the appropriate church committee as they would want to know what it was like to be a visitor. I am very touched by this and we have decided that we will go back and give it another try. This speaks very well of this congregation - such a Christlike response.

This review is dated May 2018, while a chain-link fence rings the building and a commercial "For Sale" sign blights the front lawn. Let's call this an architectural review of an edifice in transition. Dating back to the late 60's, Agudas Achim occupies a pocket park alongside center-hall colonials on a road that way back when was probably the last stop before cows and tractors. "Modern" lines (right angles, exposed steel, lots of verticals, weird levels) and a blunt small parking lot coexist awkwardly. But think about it, there's a sidewalk out front, mature trees for shade, homes and schools in close proximity, bus line out front.... we're talking accessible man! So why are they unloading the place? And where are they going? I see nothing online about what's happening with the congregation (after a very lite search). Hope everything is ok. And what on earth will go in it's place? To quote Jack Nicholson at the Oscars, "I've got a sinking feeling...." that we're gonna lose some lovely mid-mod building stock. Uuuuuuy.

Count the 12 segments around the main worship space, gaze upon the beautifully detailed ceiling, relax in peace. The oldest Jewish congregation in West Hartford, second oldest in the state, has a rich history to go along with its magnificent architecture. They're welcoming and invite tradition while living up to their Reform orientation with an open spirit.

The president (Dr. Mansoor) is the most down-to-earth, nice guy you'll ever meet. The mosque also encourages political involvement of the congregation and engages local senators/representatives so our voices are heard. Beautiful prayer area, clean wudu areas. Iftars and stuff are usually held in the basement. Jumuah prayers are serene, not crowded, and everyone who attends is VERY friendly. Very convert-friendly masjid as well. Close involvement with the Muslim Coalition of CT which drives most of these awesome initiatives.
