WELCOME! ברוכים הבאים

Fondly known as the "the Temple",
​Congregation B'nai Israel is located in Monroe, Louisiana -- on the banks of the ​Ouachita River and Bayou DeSiard.


The Temple is a sustained by a congregation of dedicated volunteers who pour countless hours of love and care into its upkeep and purpose. Their commitment reflects a deep love for Jewish heritage and a shared vision of a strong, inclusive Jewish presence, one that nurtures individuals, families, and the greater North Louisiana community.

As members of the URJ, we warmly welcome everyone seeking Jewish community!  Our congregation is built on these ​enduring principles of Reform Judaism: inclusivity, respect for diversity and autonomy, and compassion.​
​All are welcome to worship with us!
