About Beth Israel
Congregation Beth Israel is a vibrant, egalitarian and progressive Jewish community. We welcome Jews from all backgrounds, their partners, families, and those seeking to live Jewishly. We encourage active participation in synagogue life by each member according their individual interests and abilities. We empower our members to live joyful and meaningful lives through prayer, learning, community friendships, and the Jewish imperative of Tikkun Olam—repair of the world.
Since 1888, Congregation Beth Israel has been an important presence in the Greater Bangor region, serving as the nexus of Jewish living in this part of Maine.
