CONGREGATION BETH ISRAEL

Cherished traditions balanced by openness to needs of a changing world. Our services are egalitarian. We read the full Torah portion each week (although we have shifted to a triennial cycle for Zoom services.) All genders help to lead services, read Torah, and are counted in minyan. Area college students and teens who have become b'nai mitzvah also take an active role. Our Rabbi is pleased to create meaningful rituals around life cycle events that meet diverse needs, and she officiates at Jewish same-gender wedding ceremonies... So, that's a little taste of Beth Israel. To find out more, please click here. We look forward to meeting you!... A place for everyone. Participating in services, reading Torah, studying together, cooking shelter meals, playing Mahjong, joining our loyal team of volunteers-there are many ways to get involved, and we'll help you to find your place. We are committed to living our values through our spiritual practice, committee work, and special initiatives..
