Congregation Beth Israel

2010 Shabbaton

Congregation Beth Israel is a warm, caring group of about 140 families. We are affiliated with the United Synagogues of Conservative Judaism, and we use the traditional Sim Shalom Siddur for our Friday evening and Shabbat morning services.

All ages are represented within our membership, from couples with young children or teenagers, to single adults and retirees.

Congregation Beth Israel welcomes interfaith couples and wants them to play an active role in all activities of the congregation. Our congregational family encourages the non-Jewish partner to participate in religious services and auxiliary organizations of the congregation, such as the Men’s Club and the Sisterhood.

While many of our members are long-time congregants and residents of Greenville, numerous others are relatively new additions to this area and to our congregational family. We greet with enthusiasm the infusion of new individuals and families, who can contribute their unique perspectives and creative ideas to benefit us all, and we look forward to welcoming YOU.
