Congregation B'nai Israel

As Sacramento’s oldest Jewish congregation and its largest Reform synagogue, B’nai Israel is devoted to honoring the traditions of our heritage while creating a Jewish experience that is relevant to today’s society. We nurture spirituality and personal reflection through prayer, music, education and social action. We foster friendship and community with Shabbat dinners, ritual events and affinity groups that reflect our diversity. Congregation B’nai Israel welcomes families and singles, young and old, gay and straight.

Planning a wedding, bris or other life-cycle event?  Looking for information on Holidays or Shabbat services? You’ll find answers in the worship section.

Our spiritual leader is Rabbi Mona Alfi.  You can learn more about her and other temple leaders in the about section, where you will also find information on B’nai Israel’s nearly 160-year history and our newly renovated sanctuary.

The best way to experience B’nai Israel, of course, is in person.  Please look at the calendar for details on the spiritual, educational and fun events we host. And then come check us out.
