Welcome to Congregation Beth Israel Judea. Here's a message to newcomers from our president, Joshua Goodman:
Congregation Beth Israel Judea is a warm and inviting place of Jewish culture, learning and spiritual guidance. We pride ourselves on being open to all and on forming a meaningful community concerned with social justice and Tikkun Olam. Whether you are new to the Bay Area, visiting for the first time, or a long time resident in search of the right place to share and become a part of a Jewish community, I invite you to join us for one of our many programs or services.
We hold regular services on both Friday nights and Saturday mornings, as well as Torah study every Saturday before services. Our Friday night services range from the traditional to the musically spiritual Sacred Chant and Drum service to table side services at which we can come together to eat and share. Please join us.
We also have programs for adults and a wonderful Youth and Family Education Program (YFP). You can check out upcoming events on our website, call the office for information, email us or just drop by. If you are interested in joining us for High Holy Day services, please contact the office.
If you do happen to join us on Shabbat or at any other time and I am there, please make sure to introduce yourself. In addition to being President of the Board of Trustees, my wife and I have been members of BIJ for over 25 years. It would be my pleasure to welcome you to our congregation.
Again, welcome!
Joshua Goodman, President, Board of Trustees
