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.

DecDecember 2 , 2021Jews at the Forefront of Change
Thursday, Dec 2nd 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? -

DecDecember 2 , 2021Engaging Israel: Jewish Values and the Israeli‐Palestinian Conflict
Thursday, Dec 2nd 7:00p to 8:30p
Rabbi Goldstein will be teaching a course from the Hartman Institute called: Engaging Israel: Jewish Values and the Israeli‐Palestinian Conflict. Three sessions will be held beginning on Oct and several more in early 2022. Among the topics to be discussed: What are the Foundations for a Values Discourse, as well as the spectrum of views about Israel? How do we live with different narratives of peace? What are the attitudes toward the Land, both within and from outside of Israel? How do we understand the word Justice? The Shalom Hartman Institute is a leading center of Jewish thought and education, serving Israel and North America. Our mission is to strengthen Jewish peoplehood, identity, and pluralism; to enhance the Jewish and democratic character of Israel; and to ensure that Judaism is a compelling force for good in the 21st century. -
