Congregation Beth Israel is a beit midrash, a house of learning, offering Jewish religious instruction since 1897.

A long time has passed since the community’s original Talmud Torah program was started.  Bangor once had a “Hebrew Free School,” where free religious instruction was offered to Jews.

Today, Congregation Beth Israel offers a variety of contemporary educational offerings for all ages.  Hebrew education, Torah studies, current affairs, and so much more.  Our Religious School Director, Leah Kresge, teaches K-12.  Rabbi Bill Siemers offers great weekly adult education programs, as does Rabbi David Baron, who teaches from Chassidic insights.

We invite you to contact the office and join our community of lifelong Jewish learners.
