Welcome to Beth Israel Congregation
Beth Israel is the synagogue where everyone knows your name, and we are always glad you’re here. We welcome all who seek to join us in friendship.
By balancing Jewish traditions with modern innovation, we’ve built a community through ritual observance, lifelong learning, and acts of loving kindness.
• Beth Israel offers a variety of inclusive ritual services, for all ages to meet the needs of our community members wherever they are.
• Beth Israel connects with the larger community through social action/tikkun olam programs that seek to promote equity and make the world a better place.
• Beth Israel cares for congregants through our unique Shleimut program. Composed of our clergy, social worker, nurse, and legal assistance team, Shleimut meets the spiritual, emotional and practical needs of members.
We have a place for you—and your family. Join our community. Grow spiritually. Nourish your soul. Learn and share with us.

NovNovember 4 , 2021Jews at the Forefront of Change
Thursday, Nov 4th 12:00p to 1:00p
Jews have historically played a significant role in working for change within the societies in which they live. From its beginnings, Judaism brought a new and revolutionary message to the world about the relationship between God, the world and humanity, and especially about the responsibility upon the Jews as God’s Chosen. In this mini-course, we will explore the unique role that Jews have had in shaping the world according to both a vision of what the world should look like and a mission to make that happen, whether through ideology, religious understandings, charismatic leadership, influential writings, protests, movements, or at times even violence. Is this merely a coincidence? A reaction to our own history of persecution ? Or is it part of the nature of Jewish consciousness? -
