Young folks share their lives with our older members, singles and couples call on each other as friends and companions, and each of us individually counts in the lives of all of us collectively.

Beth Israel is committed to creating moments of light in our lives to encounter the divine, through prayer, study, observance of the holidays and adoption of the mitzvot.

As a more than 100-year old community, everything we do is grounded in tradition. But the purpose of that grounding is not to weigh us down, but to allow us to soar.

Welcome to Beth Israel Synagogue

We are an independent, egalitarian Jewish community that welcomes all spiritual seekers. Proud of our ancient faith, we combine the study of our sacred texts with prayer that is engaging emotionally and spiritually. In our charming, 100-year-old building, we nurture a community that is caring and joyful.
