About Beth Israel Congregation
Beth Israel Congregation is a vibrant Jewish community in Bath, Maine, with roots reaching back to 1886 when the city's first permanent Jewish resident, Isaac Mikelsky, arrived and was warmly welcomed by the local non-Jewish community. Today, the congregation serves midcoast Maine and beyond, offering a rich array of religious and community programs including Shabbat services, religious education for youth and adults, Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations, Jewish lifecycle events, and interfaith programs. Located in a historic coastal city known for its maritime heritage along the Kennebec River, Beth Israel provides a meaningful space for worship and connection to Jewish tradition. The congregation is actively led by dedicated members and welcomes all who wish to join in celebrating Jewish life and community.
