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. |
TEMPLE IS OPEN FOR SERVICES
In accordance with Governor Edwards' current proclamation (houses of worship may open), the Temple is open for services beginning August 7, 2020. Extreme safety measures are in place. If you would like to attend the service in person, wearing a mask is mandatory. If you forget your mask, a disposable one will be available for you. If you would like to attend the service virtually, we will also be broadcasting the service on Zoom. If you have any questions, please call 318-387-0730 or leave an email at 1868temple@gmail.com.
