Welcome to the website of B'nai Israel Synagogue, in Grand Forks, North Dakota. We are a small but strong congregation open to Jews of all types. Our congregation has about 40 members, made up of a number of different families. We have services once or twice a month.

Our congregation is proud to host student rabbis from the Cincinnati campus of Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion. Each year, a new student uses B'nai Israel as a place to learn, grow, and share as he or she develops the rabbinical craft. As a congregation, we are committed to education and the growth of the Jewish community. 

We welcome every Jewish denomination to our service. We have a balcony for those who wish to worship separately from the rest of the congregation.
