Minyan Selection

Ansche Chesed has a rich history that lives on through its multiple prayer groups, or minyanim, each of which is an integral part of the wider AC community. Learn more about the Sanctuary, Minyan M'at, the West Side Minyan, and Minyan Rimonim. While everyone is welcome to pray with any of our prayer groups, Minyan M’at and the West Side Minyan ask regular participants to pay a modest membership fee in addition to their AC Membership Dues.

Please indicate below whether you are also a member of either of these minyanim, or just a member of the Sanctuary.
