Welcome to Congregation B'nai Israel. We are a small
congregation with a long history. We are affiliated with
The Union for Reform Judaism. However,
like many small congregations, our members come from a
variety of backgrounds and we strive to make everyone
feel at home. We hope that you will find in us your
Jewish home and join our congregation. We serve the
Golden Triangle of Mississippi--Starkville, Aberdeen,
West Point, and Columbus--as well as Western Alabama.
Let us know what your Jewish family can do to help you feel more at home. 

We are a member of Union for Reform Judaism-URJ
