Congregation Beth Israel, Conservative synagogue in Worcester, Massachusetts, United States.
The religious center, established at 15 Jamesbury Drive, spans over 12 acres and includes a primary sanctuary, chapel, and expandable social gathering space.
The congregation moved from its original Pleasant Street location to the current building in 1959, following substantial membership growth after World War II.
The synagogue transitioned from Orthodox to Conservative Judaism in 1949, joining the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism as a central religious institution.
The main sanctuary accommodates 476 people, while the social hall expands to fit 1,450 attendees during High Holiday services.
Rabbi Aviva Fellman made institutional history in 2014 by becoming the first female religious leader of the congregation.
