Who We Are

Congregation Beth Israel is a Modern Orthodox synagogue situated in the Metairie suburb of New Orleans. Our mission is to create an accessible spiritual home, where all Jews are warmly embraced, regardless of affiliation or background. We strive to create a community whose spiritual and intellectual character is in consonance with modern Orthodox values and commitments.

We are also proud of our multi-generational heritage, and endeavor to foster a larger sense of family amongst our long time members and the more recent newcomers to our community as we build towards our future. Furthermore, we seek to serve as a spiritual home-away-from-home for the corps of young Jewish adults making a difference in New Orleans, as well as Jewish business travelers and tourists who visit our city.
