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.
