Worship at Congregation B’nai Israel

Congregation B’nai Israel offers a wide range of Shabbat services for all ages. Our services are led by Cantorial Soloist Susan Burden. Music plays an important role in our worship services. Our services offer a combination of joyous worship and contemplative quiet reflection.

For Shabbat and Festival services, our congregation uses Mishkan T’filah, the Reform movement’s most recent Siddur (prayerbook), an engaging and user-friendly worship tool. You do not need to be familiar with Hebrew to have a fulfilling experience. Our worship services are open to all.  Attire is synagogue appropriate (business-casual).

Our congregation is diverse and multigenerational, and is reflected by our worship opportunities.

  • All services begin at 10am
  • Occasional innovative services incorporate special themes and new music into a unique worship opportunity
