There are many synagogues in the Lower Mainland. So what makes Beth Israel stand out? We believe it’s our love and passion. Love for our synagogue and community and passion for bringing people closer to God, Torah & Israel.

Connecting with other Jewish people and families is not always an easy thing to do – especially in today’s hectic world. So our main aim is to engage with all our congregants – young and old. From family services and child friendly Shabbat dinners to parties for young adults and our seniors Mahjong group, we ensure that no one is left out. Our popular Purim carnival and Hannukah parties have brought people in by the hundreds.

We also organize Shabbat dinners and events for young Jewish adults (early 20s – 40s) which is a fantastic way for people to connect. Our popular monthly ‘Lunch & Learn’ series with Rabbis Infeld & Stein is not to missed. Best of, all they are free and lunch is included!! For lawyers, we also have our ‘Law & Learn’ series which provide lawyers with continuing education credits while discussing relevant topics with a Jewish perspective.

We are always updating and improving our events and programs to ensure that our congregants get a wide range of perspectives and experiences. So come and join our mishpacha. Call Tovah Carr, at 604-731-4161 x 101 or send an e-mail.
