Congregation Beth Israel

Congregation Beth Israel is a Reform synagogue located on East Jefferson Street that offers multiple worship styles including both traditional and egalitarian services throughout the year. The facility supports both in-person attendance and online participation in its programs and religious ceremonies.

The synagogue was established in 1882, growing from the Hebrew Benevolent Society founded in 1870. The original building remains the oldest synagogue structure in Virginia.

The congregation offers Hebrew instruction and educational programs for different age groups, connecting community life with learning about Jewish traditions and texts. These courses bring together families and individuals who want to deepen their understanding of the faith.

Visitors can attend events in person or join remotely through digital platforms for flexible participation in services and programs. A calendar of events helps identify programs and ceremonies that match your interests.

A rabbi led the congregation for more than 25 years and received public recognition from state and local authorities for his service. His long tenure significantly shaped how the congregation developed during that period.
