Welcome to Adas Kodesch Shel Emeth!
Adas Kodesch Shel Emeth is a traditional congregation in Wilmington, Delaware, now located a few minutes from Exit 7 off of I-95, northwest of downtown Wilmington. You can find us at our new home, 2412 Pennsylvania Avenue, Wilmington, DE 19806, on Google Maps. Read an article about our new home here.
We are an embracing, engaging and enriching congregation and welcome you wherever you are in your spiritual journey.
We are excited to be back together in-person for Shabbat services in our new home. We are also continuing in-person Mincha services on Tuesday afternoons at the Siegel JCC. And we now hold Thursday morning Shacharit services in our new home.
AKSE Time Capsule Extracted
On June 3, 1962, before the completion of our new synagogue building, a time capsule was placed in the cornerstone between the large concrete tablets of the Ten Commandments facing Washington Blvd. On June 12, 2018, 56 years later, the time capsule was extracted. On the next day, June 13, the contents of the time capsule were revealed before our annual congregational meeting.
Thanks to Paula Gordon for coordinating this project and for assembling a slideshow detailing the extraction of the time capsule and the revelation of its contents. You can view the slideshow here.
