The Congregation Ahavos Zedeck records consist of one minute book covering the years 1920-1930, a photocopy of the minute book, a list of memorial inscriptions and a letter concerning the sale of the congregation's building. The minute book contains information about membership, dues, social activities, educational programs, High Holy Day observances, and contributions to Jewish organizations., Congregation Ahavos Zedeck was funded in 1900 in the Glenwood section of Pittsburgh. The congregation also served the Hazelwood area. After renting rooms for its synagogue and school, the congregation built its own building in 1927. The Mothers' Club, which supported educational and social activities, was officially affiliated as the congregation's Sisterhood in 1929. By the mid-1950s the congregation had dwindled and could no longer sustain the building. It was sold to the Hazelwood Christian Missionary Allliance Church., These materials were given in one accession.
