Our Spiritual Life
Rabbi Rachel Barenblat, named one of “America’s Most Inspiring Rabbis” by The Forward, leads with her gifts of poetry, song, and prose. Her popular Velveteen Rabbi blog site and books inspire her congregants at Congregation Beth Israel as well as her followers all around the world.
During our more than 125-year history, our congregation has continually adapted to make Judaism relevant, meaningful, and joyful. We are a member of the Reform Movement.
