About Ahavas Torah Center
Rooted in Torah. United in Community. Inspired for Growth.
Founded in 2011, Ahavas Torah Center has become a vibrant anchor of Torah life in the heart of Henderson, Nevada. Our mission is to cultivate a warm, welcoming community deeply rooted in the pillars of Torah, Tefilah, and Chesed — where every Jew feels empowered to grow in their Judaism and connect meaningfully with others.
In 2025, we opened a beautiful new shul facility designed to support our kehilla with inspiring davening, engaging learning, and a sense of belonging. From daily minyanim and weekly shiurim to our year-round Night Seder and active chesed network, the ruach of Ahavas Torah Center is tangible.
Henderson is proud to have a centrally located Luxury Spa Women’s Mikvah (built in partnership with Mikvah USA in 2020) and an upgraded Mehadrin Eruv (2024 – with Rabbi Mordechai Paretzky), ensuring halachic infrastructure that matches the strength of our community values.
Community at a Glance:
• Approaching 100 frum families and built to grow
• Daily and Shabbos minyanim with multiple options
• Year-round structured Night Seder
• Active programming for men, women, and children
• Community Events and Initiatives throughout the year
