A friendly, innovative Conservative, egalitarian Jewish community
Congregation B'nai Israel is fortunate to be endowed with our area’s most creative clergy, Rabbi Debra Orenstein and Cantor Lenny Mandel. Together they provide the perfect blend of tradition and learning in a manner that's stimulating, fresh, and oftentimes equally entertaining, funny and poignant.
Our weekly services often include special themes like ‘One Wonderful Hour’, ‘Jews in the News’, ‘Yoga Shabbat’, ‘Meditation Shabbat, ‘Freedom Shabbat’, ‘Shabbat for Every Age & Stage; Hebrew School led services, ‘Zoom only Shabbats’, and everyone’s favorite – ‘Casual Erev Shabbat’ – where Cantor Lenny arranges all the prayers to the tunes of Broadway shows or popular musical groups!
We welcome you to visit our wonderful, caring community to attend or participate in any upcoming services, programs, or events on our calendar. Experience and feel the spirit and warmth that sets CBI apart from other Conservative synagogues.
