Daily Minyan & Shabbat Access
Join Us In-Person or online
We are delighted to welcome you to B’nai Israel. At B’nai Israel, we are very proud of our daily minyan, which convenes on each weekday morning at 7:15 AM and at 8:00 PM in the evening. On Sundays, minyan is at 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM It provides a meaningful community for those who are saying kaddish, but it is much more. The minyan is a testament to our concern for the value of tefillah b’tzibbur, communal prayer. Breakfast is served on Wednesdays mornings.
Our Zoom option is available for all weekday minyanim, Friday night services, and other events in Hayman Chapel. Our enhanced livestream is available for events in Dweck Sanctuary including Shabbat and begins regularly at 9:00 AM on Saturday mornings.
If you are new to the congregation, please be sure to introduce yourself to the clergy and other members of the minyan. We are always eager to welcome newcomers and to include your loved ones’ names before the recitation of kaddish and other prayers. We look forward to “davening” with you.
We look forward to worshiping with you.
Closed captions are available on the enhanced livestream by clicking "CC" on the bottom right of the livestream window. Closed captions are available on Zoom by clicking "CC" at the bottom of the Zoom screen toolbar.
