Rabbinic Intern Bruce Alpert
Bruce is starting his third year as spiritual leader at Beth Israel. He is in his sixth year of rabbinic studies at the Academy for Jewish Religion in Riverdale, New York. Before attending rabbinical school, Bruce worked for over twenty years here in Wallingford.Bruce has been married to his high-school sweetheart, Terri, for 23 years. They have two wonderful daughters; Sarah is getting ready for college next year as her sister Rachel prepares for high school.
Bruce believes that a synagogue is an important source of identity and continuity in the life of both the individual and the community. But he also believes that understanding the sources and history of Judaism’s many traditions is crucial to making them alive and meaningful to today’s congregants. Education at all levels as well as social and cultural programming are crucial in making a synagogue the hub of a vibrant Jewish community.
Bruce is excited at the growth and enthusiasm that has marked the last several years at Beth Israel and looks forward to being a part in its continued renaissance.

Our Friendly & Dedicated Board
Cantorial Soloist Nancy Huber
Nancy first became Cantorial soloist (Cantor) for Beth Israel approximately 18 years ago when the Rabbi heard her singing during service and asked if she would help lead future Friday evening services. Soon after, she was introduced to Cantor Ken Cohen of Temple Shalom in Greenwich Connecticut. Thus began Nancy’s weekly trips to Greenwich for High Holiday training. Nancy has continued to help lead Friday evening and High Holiday services since that time.
She has also cantored for all Beth Israel Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies as well as several Bar and Bat Mitzvah services at other synagogues in Connecticut. Nancy has participated in a number of community ecumenical services as well as memorial services at Connecticut Hospice.
Nancy and her husband Jack have 4 grown children (Sarah, Seth, Evan and Jennifer) and are new in-laws to Sarah’s husband, Jeff. The Hubers also have a beautiful black lab named Maddy. Nancy is a registered nurse and works full time for a large health care management company.
Message from President Alida Cella
Welcome to Beth Israel. I feel honored to be the President of such a unique Congregation. For our size, the amount of heart and community is touching. I am proud of our tight-knit and hard working Board.
Our mission is to be the center of Jewish life in Wallingford, and the surrounding area, and to provide a place where all can come and feel a part of our family. All are welcome for any of our events.
While we do have membership dues, we are need-sensitive. We would much rather that people come and join us, than stay away due to lack of funds. Their presence and participation can be strong currency. E-mail Alida.
