Our Story
Congregation Beth Israel is the largest and oldest Synagogue on the Monterey Peninsula. We are a growing congregation with approximately 275 member households. Our members come from diverse backgrounds and are unified in our Jewish spirit. We are a Reform Congregation, a member of the Union for Reform Judaism, in the mainstream of liberal Judaism. As liberal Jews we look to our heritage as a repository of wisdom, insight and numerous possibilities for religious expression.
We involve ourselves in reaching out to intermarried couples, singles and other groups in need of our attention. We participate in community events such as Blood Drives, I-HELP, Food drives and helping feed the hungry. We support the bereaved, visit the sick, and lend a hand to those in need in our community. We also extend our help with cooking for those in mourning and those who are recovering from an illness and help with transportation. We are a caring congregation.
