Congregation Beth Israel, Modern Orthodox synagogue in Metairie, Louisiana, United States

Congregation Beth Israel is a Modern Orthodox synagogue at 4000 West Esplanade Avenue in Metairie, Louisiana, next to Gates of Prayer, a Reform synagogue. The congregation built the new synagogue there by 2012, after its Canal Boulevard building in Lakeview was flooded in 2005. It is the oldest Orthodox congregation in the New Orleans region.

The congregation was founded in 1904 and first met on Carondelet Street in New Orleans. After severe damage from a major storm, the community moved to its current Metairie location in 2012.

The congregation descends from Tememe Derech, a congregation of Prussian Jews from Posen organized in 1857 and known as "The Polish Congregation" for its Polish rite. Its first rabbi, Moses Hyman Goldberg, left within a year for Chevra Thilim and served as New Orleans' mohel until his death in 1940.

The building sits on West Esplanade Avenue and is easy to reach by car. Anyone hoping to attend a service or a learning program should contact the congregation in advance.

The congregation's Canal Boulevard building was flooded again in 2007, when thieves stole copper air-conditioning tubing and water entered the structure. The community had already lost all seven of its Torah scrolls and more than 3,000 prayer books to Katrina two years earlier.
