Welcome to TAA

For more than a hundred years, we have been, quite simply, the center of Jewish life on Cape Ann. If you live nearby, or if you are visiting our scenic area, this is your home. While we are affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, we are profoundly inclusive. We share prayer, learning, holidays, good works, and the joys of lifelong connection.



In December, 2007, our landmark 180-year-old building burned to the ground. Since then, we have not missed a single service, religious school class, or mah jongg game. The T.A.A. Board has voted to rebuild on the Middle Street site. Our transitional space at 33 Commercial Street is up and running. (Best nickname so far: the Temp Temp.) All services, meetings, classes and events are now held at Commercial Street unless otherwise specified.

Our synagogue was destroyed, but our community continues to thrive.
