Explore our beautiful campus

Congregation Beth Israel moved to a magnificent synagogue campus in the Golden Triangle area of San Diego in the fall of 2001. The award-winning complex consists of five buildings, totaling more than 65,000 square feet, set on a three-acre site. Special attention to landscape, open space, courtyards, gardens and a grand entry staircase create a beautiful environment that evokes images of Jerusalem.

The sanctuary and social hall can be used together to seat 1,000 people. Separately, for dining and gatherings, the social hall seats up to 300 people. The main building also includes The Krichman Family Memorial Area, the Glazer Gift Shop, a commercial kitchen and gathering spaces.

Bill & Sid Rubin Preschool and Lee & Frank Goldberg Family Religious School

The campus' educational facilities are designed to accommodate the congregation's religious school, preschool, and provide classrooms for adult study programs. The education buildings include classrooms, the Feuerstein Family Activity Center, the Jackie Novak Youth Lounge, the Sophie & Arthur Brody Library, the Elene & Herbert Solomon Computer Lab, special rooms for music, art and science, and administrative offices. Two outdoor play yards are used by all the schools.
