Congregation B'nai Israel was founded in 1863. Our first synagogue building was erected on 22nd Street in 1870, and still stands today. See "The History of Congregation B'nai Israel"

​

    The cornerstone of our current building, at the corner of Avenue O and 30th street, was set in 1954. We are immensely proud of our building, designed by CB congregant and Holocaust Survivor Tibor Beerman. Within it, one will discover a large and inspiring sanctuary, which opens up to a magnificent social hall (which is utilized for various congregational functions). In addition, we have a warm and cozy chapel space, for more intimate prayer and life-cycle moments. Our Religious School classrooms as well as our library are WiFi enabled, and contain a vast array of up-to-date materials to inspire learners of all ages.

    This is just a glimpse of what our spiritual home of CBI can provide. We invite you to make an appointment for a visit by contacting our office at (409) 765-5796 or e-mail us at info@cbigalveston.org for more information.
