We have an active Hebrew School that is free to new members for the first year. We have an active social agenda and we actively participate in Civic affairs. Congregation Sons of Israel is growing and we would like to include you as members.

After five years, Congregation membership includes rights to free internment at our Jewish Cemetery.
