About Us

Ava Torah Judaism is a grassroots Jewish community in the Ozarks, offering meaningful connection to Torah, tradition, and one another. We serve individuals and families with warmth, inclusion, and halachic integrity.

Our doors are open to all types of Jews, as well as to God-fearing Gentiles, Noahides, and those walking the Abrahamic path. Whether you’re returning to your roots, exploring Torah for the first time, or seeking a righteous path among the nations, you are welcome here.

This is a safe space for asking questions, challenging assumptions, and deepening your understanding of the One True God of Israel. We believe that sincere seekers—regardless of background—deserve respect, support, and access to Torah-centered community life.

Wherever you are on your path, you are welcome to walk with us — to learn, to question, to grow, and to belong.
