B'nai Israel is a warm, welcoming, sensitive and diverse congregation, proudly affiliated with the Reform
Movement. Located in Southbury on a new campus at 444 Main Street North that is shared with our partner organization, The Federation: Jewish Communities of NW CT, we are a home of religious instruction and expression for many Jews and their dear-ones from Southbury, Woodbury, Waterbury, Middlebury, Watertown, Oxford, Newtown, Sandy Hook, and other local communities.
Affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism, B'nai Israel is also active in the area Jewish and interfaith communities. A congregational community centered around devotion to God, Torah and the People Israel, B'nai Israel endeavors to help bring meaning to searching souls and healing to a fractured world.
Persons interested in our congregation or Judaism are invited to join us for Kabbalat Shabbat Worship Services, held at 7:30 PM on Friday Evenings.
