New to Boise? New to the Ahavath Beth Israel Website? Check out our Podcasts Listen to Rabbi Daniel Fink talk about Ahavath Beth Israel click here to go to our What We Do page To our visitors and our community members: Welcome to the website for Congregation Ahavath Beth Israel, Idaho's historic Jewish community and the home of liberal Judaism in Idaho! As the longest continuously operating Synagogue located west of the Mississippi, we are proud of our traditional, blended heritage which has evolved in Boise since 1895, when our Synagogue was built. Our congregation is composed of a diverse population, including many interfaith couples and those new to Idaho. Many of our members have settled here from other parts of the country, and they are comforted to find a congregation in which connections are easily made and a surrogate family soon takes root. Our congregation has an egalitarian spirit and is a vibrant living community of people who care about each other, our environment, education and social issues. In October of 2003 we moved our historic synagogue to a new site and built a new multipurpose building next to it. We joyously moved into our restored and new facilities on March 12, 2004 and dedicated the buildings on Lag B'Omer - May 8, 2004. We welcome you to visit and check us out. We hope our web site information will give you additional insight into our community and its many facets. Sandy
