Established in 1924, Congregation B’nai Israel has been creating community in Gainesville for over 85 years.

We are a community-based, volunteer-driven organization that is committed to celebrating joyful Jewish living in North Central Florida.

Our diverse and progressive congregation aims to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere where authentic Judaism may be practiced and where innovation, creativity and originality are encouraged.

We strive to enrich our community through education, opportunities for prayer and spiritual growth and acts of loving-kindness.
