B'nai Israel Jewish Center is a warm and welcoming community. Our services offer an inspirational spiritual setting for families and individuals to experience these Days of Awe.

Family services are integrated into our main service and childcare is available to facilitate parents' participation in services.

While tickets are not necessary, we appreciate donations to help strengthen our community. Suggested donation: $150 for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur; $75 for one or the other.
