Welcome to Temple B’nai Israel!
We May be the Family You Just Haven’t Met Yet.
Temple B’nai Israel has been the hub of Jewish activity in central New Hampshire for the past eighty years. Our congregation is affiliated with Reform Judaism, however, our members’ beliefs and traditions range from traditional conservatism to modern versions of Reform practice.
We are an inclusive family – whether you are Jewish by birth or by choice, new to Judaism or rooted in your beliefs. We assign no labels. All members of the Jewish faith are invited to join us in prayer, study, tikun olam, and support for Israel. We are active participants in the Greater Laconia Ministerial Council and play a positive role in the community at large.
