The Center of Jewish Life in Northeast Louisiana
|
Congregation B'nai Israel, fondly known as the "the Temple", is located in Monroe, Louisiana which is on the banks of the Ouachita River and Bayou DeSiard.
The Temple is truly a congregation of volunteers, who put in countless hours because of their love for Judaism and their desire for a strong Jewish community, committed to the values and conduct of the individual, the family and the society in which we live. As members of the URJ, we extend a warm welcome to all who are seeking a Jewish community built on the fundamental and enduring principles of Reform Judaism. |
