What is Ahavath Sholom?

Two entrepreneurial Jews from Germany came to Ligonier, Indiana in the 1850s and by trusting their neighbors, they co-existed peacefully in a diverse community. Today, the synagogue (Ahavath Sholom, Hebrew meaning "Peace Loving") built in 1889 is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places- a tangible symbol of a small town’s successful effort to embrace the demographic diversity that now confronts similar communities across America.
