Our Sanctuary
Our sanctuary at B’nai Israel is a beautifully adaptable space, designed to reflect the rhythm and spirit of our community. With movable walls and flexible seating, it gracefully expands to a grand space to comfortably welcome the full congregation for High Holiday services — filling the room with voices, prayer, and shared purpose. It then just as easily transforms into a smaller, more intimate setting for Shabbat and weekday gatherings. This thoughtful design mirrors our values: embracing both the grandeur of collective worship and the warmth of close connection. It reminds us that whether we gather in large numbers or small circles, each moment of prayer and presence is sacred.
Kabbalat Shabbat Services
Our doors are open to all who seek to worship, learn and serve the community.
Our goal is to broaden the understanding of Judaism. And through better understanding establish each individual’s
relationship with G-d. Join us to experience our interactive service. Come learn with us.
Kabbalat Erev Shabbat Service start at 7:00 PM every Friday night in our sanctuary.
For those who choose to join us remotely, we offer 3 options: Zoom, Vimeo and YouTube.

Zoom allows for an interactive experience where congregants can see and interact with each other. Those on Zoom can address and present to the congregation during services when required. For reasons of security, we ask that all who would like to access Zoom to send a request to the office for the link.
