Simcha, Veterans, Guest Speaker Shabbat Evening Service
Friday, Nov 7th 6:00p to 7:00p
It is Simcha Shabbat when we celebrate everyone with birthdays or anniversaries in November. We will also be honoring Veterans. Agudath Achim will join us when we welcome Shabbat for a North Louisiana Jewish Federation hosted event. We will have a special guest speaker, Father Mark Watson from St. Mary's of the Pines, who will speak to us about the 60th anniversary of the Catholic Church’s proclamation that marked a historic turning point in the Catholic Church’s relationship with the Jewish people. There will be an enhanced Oneg Shabbat. Plus a class of Centenary Students from Rev Dr. Wybra Price’s Christianity class will also be joining us during the service. -

NovNovember 9 , 2025Place Flags at Gravesites before Veterans Day
Sunday, Nov 9th 3:00p to 4:30p
We will be placing or replacing flags at the graves of the veterans in the Shreveport Jewish cemeteries. We will meet 3pm at the Agudath Achim Hebrew Rest (Intersection of Yale and Walnut Streets) , then 3:30pm continue to the Jewish section of Greenwood Cemetery on Stoner Avenue (Hebrew Rest 3). At 4pm we expect to be at Hebrew Rest 2 (1437 Texas Avenue), and 4:20pm Hebrew Rest 1 (the Jewish section of Oakland Cemetery). You are welcome to join us at only one or a few of the cemeteries. The times are approximate, since we do not know exactly how long each cemetery will take due to number of flags to be changed, and number of people helping. It would be helpful if you let the office or the Rabbi know if you plan to join us - so that we know to expect you. Please also contact us if you see a Jewish veteran's grave that does not have a JWV (Jewish War Veteran) marker. We can provide markers and flags for Jewish veterans in cemeteries other than the Jewish cemeteries. -
