Welcome to Congregation B'nai Israel in Baton Rouge, LA, now celebrating our 150^th year as one of the oldest Reform congregations in the United States. We are an active and vibrant Reform Jewish congregation with a diverse membership, and with leadership that fully respects our diversity. We invite you to explore our website and learn about our wonderful congregational community.

At Congregation B’nai Israel, we are dedicated to being welcoming and inclusive to meet the needs of all our members, and to providing a place where Jewish life is relevant, modern, and joyful. We strive to be a place of sacred encounter, where learning, prayer and deeds change people’s understanding of themselves, of their world and their responsibilities in it. We emphasize the ethical ideals of social justice at the core of the Jewish tradition.

We have a rich history and legacy, and a membership that looks towards a vibrant future. Please come worship with us and enjoy the spirit and friendships of our synagogue.

Be sure to check our website regularly, as it is continually updated.
