Birth & Baby Naming
We welcome new babies into the Jewish community through Brit Milah (circumcision and naming for boys) and B’rit Banot (naming ceremonies for girls). These ceremonies can take place during a Shabbat service or be arranged privately with our clergy.
Our clergy are available to guide you through the process and help create a meaningful experience for your family.
B’nei Mitzvah
Becoming B’nei Mitzvah is a significant milestone in Jewish life, marking a young person's growth in learning, responsibility, and connection to the Jewish community. At Congregation Beth Israel, our comprehensive program includes Religious School, personalized tutoring, and ongoing support from our clergy and educators.
We are proud to help each student and their family prepare for this meaningful moment with confidence, purpose, and pride. We invite you to learn more about our B’nei Mitzvah Program.
Conversion
Congregation Beth Israel welcomes those who are interested in exploring Judaism and considering conversion. Our clergy guide individuals through a meaningful process of learning, reflection, and spiritual growth, tailored to each person’s journey.
