About Congregation Beth Israel

simchat-torahCongregation Beth Israel is a Reform synagogue with a membership of nearly 1,260 households and 3,800 individuals who live throughout San Diego County. We maintain an active affiliation with the Union for Reform Judaism, the national Reform movement.

In the fall of 2001, we moved to our 65,000-square-foot campus set on three acres in the University Towne Centre area. Special attention to landscaping, open space, courtyards and gardens create a beautiful campus setting.

Beth Israel is an active, vibrant place. Members participate in weekly Shabbat observance, ongoing educational and social action programs. The Congregation offers chavurot, cultural, educational and social activities for women and men of all ages, young couples, singles, families with and without children, interfaith families, active seniors and youth.
