Welcome to Congregation Beth Israel
Beneath our dome is a spiritual home, a place of community and friendship, a place to be inspired through prayer, a place for lifelong learning, and a place where every person makes a difference.

High Holidays
5786
As we prepare to usher in 5786, we look forward to sharing a meaningful, musical, and joyful start to the new year with our community—both longtime members and first-time guests.
This page will soon include our full schedule of services and events for Rosh Hashanah (which starts at sundown on Monday September 22), Yom Kippur (the evening of Wednesday, October 1), Sukkot, and Simchat Torah, as well as educational and inspiring programs to mark the lead up to the holidays.
Whether you join us in person or online, we are delighted to welcome you with open hearts and open doors.
- If you are a member of the CBI community, not tickets or registration is needed; just join us for the service(s) of your choosing.
- If you wish to join us as a guest, we please click here to register. We do not issue paper tickets, but ask that you check in at our welcome table prior to services.
- Food insecurity remains a pressing issue in and beyond the Portland area. As the holidays approach, please support the Robert Peltz (z”l) High Holidays Funds for Food.
