B'nai Israel Traditional Synagogue, Conservative synagogue in Alexandria, Louisiana.

The concrete block synagogue on Vance Avenue exhibits Mid-Century modern architecture with a dedicated space for religious ceremonies and community gatherings.

Jewish immigrants from Poland and Russia established this Orthodox synagogue in 1913 as part of the Galveston Movement before transitioning to Conservative Judaism.

The congregation maintains traditional Jewish practices through regular Shabbat services and holiday celebrations under the guidance of lay leadership.

Members of the Jewish community gather at 1907 Vance Avenue for religious education, prayers, and ceremonies throughout the week.

Dr. Meyer Kaplan continues his father's legacy of lay leadership since 1998, following Bernard Kaplan's 33-year tenure from 1962 to 1995.
