For over three-quarters of a century, Congregation Beth Jacob has provided the only Conservative Jewish presence on Galveston Island. Our beautiful original, historical landmarked building is home to an egalitarian, volunteer-run congregation where both men and women assist in services, read Torah, serve as officers, and participate in all aspects of synagogue life. Our location enables us to incorporate ocean and beach sunrises and sunsets in our special programming. While it is easy to call Hurricane Ike a disaster Congregation Beth Jacob is experiencing exciting new opportunities, focusing on the “Blessings” in life. As a result of the storm, we are determined to rebuild and re-envision our future here on the island. We have been amazed by the support and generosity that both our Jewish and non-Jewish Gulf Coast community and beyond has provided. With their support, we are approaching our recovery and rebuilding strategy with many new missions:
We welcome Islanders and visitors to come take a look, stay and participate in our services and consider becoming part of our extended Gulf-Coast Jewish community.
