Our Mission

Women of Beth Israel (WBI) provides a forum to share interests, promote Jewish values, and inspire spiritual journeys through various opportunities. The WBI community encourages women to joyfully and meaningfully connect with one another through Jewish traditions, culture, and the pursuit of learning. The WBI network enriches the congregation through outreach, working with other auxiliaries and committees, providing Tzedekah and volunteering guided by the principles of Tikkun Olam.

All members who identify as female are welcome and may participate in WBI activities and events.

Count Your Blessings

The Women of Beth Israel (WBI) and our entire congregation have many blessings that we count every day. In reflecting on the past year, we ask you to pause for a minute and think about all that we are thankful for in our daily lives. WBI strives to enrich the lives of all Beth Israel members by providing social and spiritual enrichment to our community, financial support to our Religious School and much more.

As you reflect on your blessings, we ask you to provide financial support which will help us continue our Beth Israel community outreach. Contributors’ names will be gratefully acknowledged in the Beth Israel quarterly.
