Starting PointsStarting Places

If you’re new at Beth Israel let us help you find some starting places. New members have all of Beth Israel’s communities, activities and member services available to them. Non members have plenty of options, too! You don’t have to be a member to attend services, enroll your child in preschool, and participate in many of our classes and activities. Find your areas of interest here and get started!
