Creating Community in Gainesville for 100 years
We are a community-based, volunteer driven organization that is committed to celebrating joyful Jewish living in North Central Florida. Our diverse and progressive congregation aims to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere where authentic Judaism may be practiced and where innovation, creativity and originality are encouraged. We are proud to be a part of the Conservative/ Masorti Movement. We strive to enrich our community through education, opportunities for prayer and spiritual growth and acts of loving-kindness.
We welcome you to be a part of our vibrant Jewish community. Whether it is through song or study, public celebration or private reflection, we hope you will discover a deeper connection to your Jewish heritage at B'nai Israel. We offer a full calendar of activities - and offer something for everyone!
"The world stands on three pillars: Torah, Service and Deeds of Loving kindness"
Pirke Avot 1:2 (Ethics of the Fathers)
Pirke Avot 1:2 (Ethics of the Fathers)
Within our three pillars of excellence, B'nai Israel strives to provide strong religious and spiritual experiences, educational opportunities for all ages and enhance community relationship among and beyond the Jewish community. Our congregants play a vital role in making that happen--serving as the fundamental core of what we do and how we do it. We have a congregation made up of people who are dedicated, generous and full of heart to make our synagogue the best that it can be.
Join us at B'nai Israel and you can be a part of this unique community.
