Our History and Key Values

Congregation Beth Israel was established in 2004 by combining two Merrimack Valley congregations, each with a long and interesting history. Temple Beth El, of Lowell, and Congregation Tifereth Israel, of Andover, were both hundred-year-old synagogues with a wealth of pride, experience and tradition.

Our Elevator Pitch:
Throughout our long history, Congregation Beth Israel has been a warm, vibrant Jewish community. Every member is invited to engage in a rich, diverse mix of religious, community service, learning and social activities for adults. While honoring the traditions of the past, we strive to strengthen and renew our faith with participatory religious services, active community involvement, a wide range of adult education programs, and a full calendar of fun social events. At Congregation Beth Israel, we believe everyone is family.
