Agudath Israel Etz Ahayem is a synagogue located in Montgomery, Alabama. I is unusual because it is the product of a 2001 merger between two previous synagogues: the Agudath Israel synagogue, consisting of Ashkenazi Jews belonging to the Conservative Judaism movement that had been established in 1902 and the Etz Ahayem synagogue established by Sephardi Jews in 1912.

The present location on 3525 Cloverdale Road was constructed in 1957 and contains a large sanctuary, a chapel, a religious library, newly remodeled gift shop, mikvah ("ritual bath"), offices, and a kosher kitchen. The separate education building contains classrooms, a large group room, libraries, officies, and a playground.

The head rabbi since 2002 is Stephen Listfield. The educational rabbi since 1986 is David Arzouane.

Agudath Israel Etz Ahayem is presently affiliated with the Conservative movement.
